I think there is plenty.

Try Faction/Unranked/Ladder/DivX if you really need more teams.

okay thinking i know what you mean know after everyone elses comments and i agree with jinxed 5 teams is plenty that gives you a chance to have a bash a medium and a quck team and 2 other teams to keep you happy if you is really desperate you can play in another division , personally i hate having loads of teams it stops you developing your favourite and people cherry pick your weak teams and wont play your hard teams ,

I think the 5 max limit on ranked is good and should stay. What I'd love to see is a general fumbbl wide allowance. Like this:

5 max ranked, 2 max ladder, 2 max faction and you can have a total of 34 teams (which is the current maximum) that you can devide between all divisions within these set limits to your own choosing. I don't need my ranked slots but I'd love to have more in stunty, and likely would devote more teams to divx then I currently can, too.

I think 5 slots are enough.
You can have a lot of teams in unranked, so there is no need to get one more in ranked.

Why should there be a limit on ranked at all? Perhaps I am missing something.
I'm not sure what the status quo is, but I figured that we all get x amount of team slots.
You can use these however you like, in any division you like.

e.g. you have 4 slots in total and the only two divisions are Ranked and Stunty. You can have the following options:
0 Ranked 4 Stunty
1 Ranked 3 Stunty
2 Ranked 2 Stunty etc. etc.

So what's all the fuss about?

I always thought it'd be really nice to have more than 5 slots in Stunty myself, but I'm fine with the other allowances.

Yar, the limit on stunty slots really is the one thing that annoys me. I want at least 10 teams in there - more the more races to choose from Wink.

- i have nothing against other divisions than ranked, but what if i want to play my teams in an official LRB environment only ? 5 slots isn't much. what about allocating a total number of slots in R/F/L and letting player manage their teams as they feel ?

- in divX for example, you can hardly find a game for a new team. or you have to play exclusively Ogre teams. great.

- what about removing the "5 games minimum" rule in R ? does it serve any purpose worth the trouble ?

That one only get games against Ogres in divx is not true. Check the past matches of any of my divx teams. What the problem is that people simply only focus on ranked. If no one makes teams in divx, of course you won't get matches. So get those teams, advertise and help make it more active.

Unranked is an LRB official environment if you shape it into one. You don't have to play against unofficial teams, you know. And as what happens on FUMBBL are one of games the history of the team you are playing against does not negate the fact that, as long as it is an offical roster, it is in line with the LRB too. There are no experimental skills in Unranked. All these arguments have been brought forward in the past of course.

The minimum 5 games before creating new team rule does have a purpose. One being to discourage people from needlessly retireing teams, the other to actually get people to play in divisions other then ranked, too. DivX/unranked/Ladder are at this point so inactive that I'd rather see it increased to 10 games minimum then seeing it removed.
