An AI Season

There has been some talk in the past about having another AI tournament, but I think it would be interesting if we had an AI season. This would work similar to how many sports run their seasons, and would have a playoff system at the end.

Here's how it could work:

-=Starting Up=-
-Franchises would be created by one person, or maybe even multiple people (Each franchise would have a name and maybe a logo)
-Each franchise would consist of a set number of AIs (must be created by the people who are a part of the franchise)
-If there are enough franchises, there may be multiple divisions created (teams in the same division would face each other more during the regular season)

-=Regular Season=-
Depending on which map (or maps) is chosen for the games, each team would have a set amount of AIs they may choose to play in a game (this number would be less than the amount of AIs each team has)
-Every few days, each franchise would have to face another
-AIs may be swapped out before each game, but the other side would not know which is being used until the day of the match
-Winners would be determined by which team actually wins (points would not have a factor in wins unless there are too many ties for this system to work)

-=Playoffs=-
-Each division winner would advance to the playoffs
-A wild card team would be added if needed

-=Optional=-
-Franchises could trade AIs
-Using locations for part of the franchise names (possibly having divisions bases off of these)


Rules:
-AIs may not be changed during the season
-Franchises must decide which AIs they will have on their team before the season starts


Example:
Let's say I have the franchise called the Timmays. The league may be set to play 3v3 maps, but each franchise can have 5 AIs to switch in and out for each match up. So if I have the AIs A, B, C, D, and F, I could put in A, C, and D if I feel those will have the best chance against a certain opponent. Now if I feel that A, B, D, and F are all rush based AIs, I may trade B for someone else's AI that would be based more on higher tier units.
