Considering my own quick demise  :D any interest from the first round losers in something like this?

It could be implemented for this tourney, wait for the next or not be implemented at all.  I played with double elimination brackets for future tourneys but they add a week or two to the proceedings and I'd rather not do that.  This is a comprimise to help people get a couple more fights in and is relatively easy to implement.

I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

2 because the planner would be under alot of pressure. otherwise 4.

I think 2 is realistic.

Do it too often and it loses its "sparkle."

Twice a year is just about right to make it an event that people look forward to.

I think double elimination would a great addition to this setup. What happens when you get Batfink and moot in a first round pairing? Obviously they are both great pilots and likely to go a few rounds. A lot of tourneys are going to double elimination.....more work but more accurate results.
