		I think Tesco made some small maps for the KOTH game that spread the starting positions out.  Though never officially adopted, I don't think using one of those maps would be much different than making other modifications to the game start. 
 
Personally, I prefer the standard way where you need to make a decision early in the game to build defenses because you never know just where the enemy is.  It's bitten me once but I've made adjustments.   
 
But others may like the idea of some safety (distance) between starts.

The maps are up on the pbw site... free for use

 I see only two solutions in this matter. Firstly, as many times mentioned, you can use Tesco's map pack. Secondly if both players give their passwords to me I'd be able to check starting positions before uploading the game file.

 Sparhawk.  I much prefer playing with the standard settings without any special maps, but if you feel very strongly about this I'm willing to negotiate.

 OK. I remember you were in the top of the hill when you took a break, but there is a new level now so you're in the middle of the hill. No opponent yet so you'll have to wait.
