Antichess Super League (ASL)

Hi all. I have been thinking about this idea of Antichess Super League. The rules:
There will be 4/6/8 team captains (depending on the number of registrations) who will choose their team players
When the teams are formed, each team will play against each other in Swiss (4 teams)/round-robin knockout (6/8 teams) format. The players in each team will be ranked according to their highest rating
All players in each team will play their equivalent in the opposition team 2 matches 1+2
Win: 1 point Draw .5 and Loss 0 points
Then the total of each player in the same team will be added and the team with more points wins
How's the idea?
I will create a team for this in some time if you feel that this is a good idea

Other details regarding registration will be told later depending on the responses of players on this post.
This is a good idea. My earliest idea was, the top players (people rated above 2150 or just strong players) should choose their team members or anyone could just form a team of 10 players each, but not more than 5 groups. Not anyone would have access to each captain’s group. The captain would have to want you in his/her team. A 1500 player could be in the team if the leader thinks s/he is quite good. One disadvantage would be captains choosing only the best which would make it a lost game to begin with. It’s a really good idea. Also, the team should be given a unique name, not the leader’s name. So yeah.
