My Idea
Hi! Something I have always wondered, is how the Eggwars scoreboard order is decided. If you didn't know, the scoreboard in Eggwars displays which teams are in the game, as well as the status of their egg or the number of players remaining on each team. The colours on the scoreboard seem to be in an odd order that doesn't really have any meaning. I believe this is on both Bedrock and Java edition, although I am only certain about Bedrock.
This is my suggestion on how to make it better.
How It Currently Works
Currently, the way the scoreboard works, from my experience, is as follows:
- Previously mentioned order to begin the game.
- Even if eggs break, as long as the team hasn't lost any players, the order stays the same.
- As soon as a team loses a player, whether it is from an elimination or they disconnect, they go lower on the board.
- When a team is eliminated, they are completely removed from the side scoreboard.
How I Think It Should Work
In my opinion, this current system doesn't display as much information as it could. This is how I would like to see it work:
- Order of teams is based on which team is beside each other on the map.
- Even when players are eliminated or the entire team is eliminated, keep the team's name on the scoreboard, in the exact same spot.
- Use something like a cross to show that a team has been eliminated.
Potential Benefits
You probably think I'm just finding something to complain about, but I think changing this could have some decent benefits. To list a few:
- While away from their base, players will be able to look at the scoreboard to see if the teams around them are still alive, and determine whether they want to go defend their egg or make a push for another team.
- Players can get a general idea of which team could be a threat, without constantly watching the chat. This way they can decide how they will deal with said team.
- It just looks cleaner in my opinion. Not having teams move up and down, and completely disappearing would look a lot better.
Extra
Something to note is that not all maps have the same colour order for their bases.
If this change were to happen, not only would the scoreboard order need to change, but the colour of each base on each map would as well. This would keep the order consistent throughout different maps, and eventually, allow players to somewhat memorize where each colour is based on their location in the map.
Conclusion
That is all I have to say. Obviously this is not the most important update the server could do right now, and I understand that the staff team has better ways to spend their time. There is technically nothing wrong with the current scoreboard, I just think it could be improved some time in the future. Let me know what you think!

For example, in clockwise order on the solos map Robotic, the base order goes: Black, Pink, Orange, Yellow, Dark Blue, Cyan, Light Blue, Purple, Dark Green, Green, Red, Gray. The scoreboard however, displays it as follows: Dark Blue, Dark Green, Cyan, Red, Purple, Orange, Gray, Black, Green, Light Blue, Pink, Yellow.

Something to note is that not all maps have the same colour order for their bases.
For example, the duos map Library is ordered as follows (clockwise): Light Blue, Orange, Red, Green, Yellow Purple. While the duos map Toys is ordered: Light Blue, Dark Green, Pink, Yellow, Red, Gray.
