Might need more than 2, depending on where you do the events. From what I have heard on the matter, 2 is the bare minimum, but in order to best cover the action, you'd likely need more.

I think you should allow everything. Every weapon has a roll, and since most fights are supposed to be more interior, there should be places to get away from everything.

Both would be nice.

Base capture and holding makes the most sense. Taking out sunderers is just way too simple, and deathmatch... that would be over way too quick.

Defaults with some cleared equivalents. This would be a bigger question with Maxes.

I'd make it more. Maybe say: Each participating group must have A.) The correct amount of people. B.) Pay 30 for a platoon, and 10 for a squad. C.) The hosting group who is streaming will take 10-20% of the amount paid in, with the remaining 80-90% going to the winner. I'd say straight case reward instead of buying cards... let the platoon leads divy out the rewards.

I would say a 5-10 minute delay on stream, but stream it.
