All in up to here -- 13 more will give us a full field, but I'll plan on cutting off signups in the next week or so, and we'll go with what we have. For example, if we start with 70, I could tweak the round 1 and 2 numbers to look as follows, leaving the original tournament method intact.
Winner's Bracket Rounds
Each round, 1v1 series winners will be compared by fastest win, slowest winners do not advance

3rd Round: Doodle Earth, 16 players, 8 winners, 2 slowest to loser's bracket
4th Round: Luxembourg, 6 players, 3 winners, 1 slowest to loser's bracket
5th Round: Classic, 2 players, winner advances to Championship, other to loser's bracket
