Either way, I think there should be more fields.
I think the one thing holding this back is frequencies. There are only enough to have four (maybe five, I can't remember) fields.

Personally, I saw (more like heard) a few folks on Archimedes bend/break/set aflame the noisemakers rule...if we're gonna enforce it, we've gotta enforce it.

Although I will agree with the idea to give out three non-driver badges to teams. Kinda like the team support badges in eliminations--12 more warm bodies around the field won't hurt a thing...as long as they don't block my view of the red goals, of course.
