Yo Othell,
if u open a division in CAL-NS for 10 players teams, (or 8vs8 for a start) I will participate,
because its gonna bring the game to a new level, and also increase ur league popularity.
thx for yer time
(PS: I just need othell answer, not the answer of clans telling me that they are too small or not newie friendly enough to participate in, u guys because of yer handicaps, can stay on the 6vs6 where oss will also compete.)

For what it's worth, I think NS would be perfectly balanced on a competetive level at 8v8 games.
Just FYI:
We have tested a 10vs10 game. The current resource system makes it completely unviable - marines simply dominate. Their rate of expansion is phenomonal. Aliens get res way too slow, and respawn at an agonisingly slow rate. Even a 10 player gorge rush failed vs the rampaging marines. Also, this game was played by 20 Aussie regulars and clanners, not a noob in sight.
That said, it was awesome fun, and a simple tweak to the res system and alien spawn queue would make it quite possible. Perhaps something worth looking into..

Why dont you post this on the actuall cal site?
I think 10vs10 is way too much, for me, current "unbalances" in clan play is because 6v6 is too few players, even for smaller maps. 8v8 would be right on the spot
8v8.. sexy 
8 v 8 is viable with 2.1.... very interesting ?!?!?!?

Dunno, right now 3.0a is very imbalanced (hitbox issues and OCs not shooting :o) so we have to wait till the major bugs are fixed. Anyway IMHO 8vs8 is perfect, I never liked the small 6vs6 games.
