I actually thought about this for a while and I came up with a few interesting solutions to start.

A) Of course brackets would be kinda important to have. I have worked on such stuff for fun in the past, and I think I could get something done for us, in that case.

B) Going through the Johto League in the Pokemon anime once more, there was this second round that interested me a little, with groups of 3 being paired up and each of the trainers fighting one another and being rewarded points based on how well they did. 2 points for winning, 1 point for a draw, and 0 for losing. The higher scoring trainer would end up qualifiying for the top 16 rounds.

While I know we do not have enough people to do this, most likely, it is an idea that can sit there.

C) Doing the thing Hearthstone does for their tournaments: Conquest Format

Conquest Format is basicly that each participant enters with 3 decks each in a best out of 5 format. When the players are facing off, they can pick any of their 3 decks to use against one another.

If you win, the deck you used can not be used again for that round, and it continues until either of the two players have won 3 times.

This is a very interesting and innovating style of holding a tournament, while it may take a long time to get through matches, it is also a high skill cap on this way of playing, because it denies the one-deck-sweep that we all know about. For example, if I entered with a Yamigedo deck, I would get instantly blown back by Fifth Omni most likely. This denies that person an instant win and the match is still up in the air.



Just some stuff from my side of things
