[edit] Match Dates and Times
During that time a match will be held every other day. Match start times will rotate through a poll-determined set of possible times. In the below example, the schedule reflects a poll that results in 6 different possible start times. One for 8pm in London, Sydney, each US timezone.
[edit] Maps
The maps for the schedule will be a rotation based off of polling. The top maps will be included and each week or so one of the less popular maps will be featured. Upcoming week's maps will be polled on although maps will be selected based on popularity, variety, and black sheep maps in that order. So basically a variety of the most popular maps will be played the most(instead of the single most popular elected in every time), plus the odd maps that consistently are voted for but never make the cut complete the schedule to satisfy the under-represented minority.
[edit] Game Types
A similar process to the map selection alternative will be used to select the expansion or mod used for the match. Popularity will be gauged through a poll. The proportion of matches played using each game variant will be weighted heavily on popularity so that the matches stay populated but depending on how much of the pie the minority variants win, any single variant will have anywhere from 25%-50% of the matches most likely. In the following example the poll results yielded a 50% original BF2/38% Tactical Mod/ 12% SF Expansion.
