a big thing in a tournament is that a lot of luck is involved (ie drop, a bad roll etc.) so i was thinking of making a simple braket game except each "battle" between two ppl is actually 3 games, who ever has the majority (2 or above) wins and moves on. its very simple and fremiums can enter but they must have three spots open until they lose. if you dont hav enough spots open they are removed from the tourney, u cant join two then join one later because u dont have as many spots. its a bit harsh but it is required to make it easier on me.

best of 3 is a good format for 1v1 games, my foundry update series is set up like that as are many others, as for the freemium thing, many people wont allow freemium when you need 3 games at a time 
so i wouldnt consider it too bad
