We need more honorable duelers.
Honorable? That wasn't mentoned in the OP set of rules...
But seriously, to the people on the fence about signing up, both the initial bracket draw and the first round plane draw are random. One might get lucky, even if paired up with a 'name' opponent. If you lose the first round, then second round plane is your choice.
BaldEagl has a balanced system that only takes a few minutes per round. The commitment is 20 to 30 minutes a week.
Try new planes. Meet new people. Then try to kill them.
