I like extending the idea we had, from this event, of tying scenarios to maps. I thought both this and the rolling rumble format worked great. The
Albuquerque NHSD provides several ideas for formats that could work really well with this event. If you have all five of those formats going, that's a lot of variety.
However, I'm not sure team games really work well with the rolling rumble format (or with 520 point levels). I'm not opposed to team games per se, but I think it's very different and doesn't mix well with the other scenarios.

I have a couple thoughts/concerns about that:
- Once we start considering variable armies, there's a whole ton of options. Scape-a-Palooza had each player bring two set armies, where you might play one or the other, or even your opponent's army. Dallas had an event where either player could draft from their opponent's figures, in addition to their own.
- 1000 points might be a struggle for newer players, although as long as we allow Marvel I suppose anyone with Marvel can hit that number pretty easily.
- While I like the idea of drafting to an opponent/scenario, one of the cool things about the format we ran is that I had to consider an army that could play well in a variety of scenarios. If you allow drafting or swapping out, then we're moving away from jack-of-all-trades armies and more towards specialist armies.
