I agree, Sups. I don't believe a systematic draft would result in an optimal, all-star team either. But since we have so many participants of varying skill levels, and since this is supposed to be a public, fun tournament, I figured this method would be one way of allowing every participant an equal chance of representing the server.
Alternatively, if we just want to focus on beating the other servers, once we know the player limit, people can just independently pick and create their own teams (non-draft style) and then we scrimmage from there. For example: Frost quickly messages Sups, Spam, etc. and they all agree to be on his team - and that's one Gold Rush server team. Obviously, that team is likely to be composed of all the top players, so the other Gold Rush teams would be at a disadvantage, and I doubt they'd have as much enthusiasm about participating if they know they're ultimately going to lose.
