if you're doing a bracket (which is different from a round robin), it should be double elimination so that people don't get screwed by a bad round 1 matchup.
or maybe you could try a swiss tournament
the only downside with your 8 player format is that players 1 and 2 (for example) will always be in the same games
Yeah, 91 total games, which is 13 games per person, right?
I'm not familiar with a swiss tournament.
I recognized that issue with the big games, but don't know a way around it. If you know a simple algorithm, or are willing to calculate it out yourself, to provide the same numbers but a better mix, I'm open to it. I do like the ratio of about four singles to one big per player though.

That would be AWESOME. Seriously...I am completely and utterly in favor of this. I cannot stress enough how enjoyable this sounds to me.
Are you thinking total, or 91 games per person? Because I can't really commit to running something like the latter, but i'd be happy to participate lol.
91 total - basically, everyone gets to play everyone else. To my thinking, that's perfect. Well, perfect might be three games against everyone. But I like this!
