Points determination update:
After careful review, I realized that using the method of points gained - points lost = total point after each round would cause different people to advance than I had previously mentioned. Therefore, since this is a tournament that awards points for termination, no one will lose points when they are taken out in the structure of the tournament.
For example, if one player eliminates the other three in the game, the third player eliminated will advance with zero points since they did not take anyone out. In another example, if you take a player out and gain 15 points but then you get eliminated and lose 20 points, your total points for the round will be +15. In the tournament, you will not lose points from your cumulative total.
Using this method will ensure that those eliminated but advance still have a decent chance to win the tournament instead of just those that "win the game" in any round.
I hope this makes sense and is more fair than the way I had originally started determining points.
I will make an adjustment to the point status on the first page within the next 24 hours.
