Here's a python freqmanager module I wrote to take care of picking teams a lot faster than a host could normally do it. It also has the added advantage of making people stay on the team they were picked to.
Usage
I would advise locking the arena and sticking everyone in spec until picking is done. To start out you need to assign captains with /?capt <freq number>. There can only be one captain per team. Once captains have been assigned, use ?pick <freq number of captain with first pick> to start the picking and it will pretty much take care of itself from there. If you want to reassign a captain, pm a new player with /?capt <freq number> and they will replace the previous captain. You can change who is in turn to pick at any time with ?pick <freq number>, which can be useful if somebody leaves. To remove a player's picked status pm them with /?resetpick. When picking is finished, you can disable captains from picking people with a simple ?pick. Any new players that come in will be able to go on any frequency they want, but picked players will be restricted to the team they were picked to until you /?resetpick them or ?resetpick the entire arena. This is all explained in the command help entries as well.
Installation
