I am going to be opening signups soon, but before we start, I want to see if there any suggestions out there for the next season.

I will note for sake of argument there is a difference between a word count limit and an RP bonus structure that produces diminishing returns past a certain point. Both can have their place without being mutually exclusive.
A strict word count limit can mean that there is a penalty for writing beyond a certain amount (Say, 1000 words). This type of structure could be used in an introductory league such that users dont get overwhelmed trying to compare their contributions to others who are able to dedicate much more free time each week.
However, most competitions already implement the softer version of such limitations whereby the amount of bonus you can earn on any given grading window is limited. IE: If an unranked nation posts 27 RP's between MD1 and MD2 of the World Cup, you will not accrue enough KPB points to be effectively the top ranked nation in the scorination heading into MD3. The real conversation comes at what amounts to "Near Full Credit". If a total of 5 KPB of points are available to earn on any given scorination window, the host might decide that the first 3 are earned simply by contributing to the bar - ie the 1000 word limit. The final 2 points might be earned through additional quality or criteria. You might be able to earn those additional 2 points in various ways - either by simply writing more words beyond the 1000 that continue to tell a quality story, maybe through graphical contributions, maybe some detailed research or perhaps even simply by having written an exceptional contribution within the confines of the 1000 words you already wrote to get the first 3 RP bonus points.
So - before we pile on this bandwagon of "I will boycott the event if there is a word count limit" - i felt it was important to put such a statement into context. No, there should be no such limit that penalizes you for writing more than a certain amount - but I'm sure when it comes to RP bonus earning - there is a point of diminishing returns when strictly considering the length of your contribution - and this would be similar across all sports not just NSSCRA

Nobody said anything about diminishing returns. In fact, I daresay the fact that there are diminishing returns is simply good old-fashioned horse sense. The host has a finite amount of time to spend on reading RPs. Of course there's going to be a certain point where the host is like, "Yep, length's good. Let's move on to quality", in assigning RP bonus.

Xanneria, I will definitely add in the number of laps part of the signup. If I happen to forget, remind me of it as soon as you notice! I think we have a pretty good system of free agency, actually. There's been a fair amount of movement between the last couple seasons.
Sherpa, if a NATION sells its charters, then their driver would have to qualify in. In the Qiang example then, Kai would have to qualify in if he no longer had a guaranteed charter. If it's an internal move within the same nation, then they would not have to qualify in. A past champion's provisional is an idea, would have to depend on how signups and field size go.
I am not in favor of utilizing a Word Count. I can understand the logic, but is not something I wish to implement.
