Sorry to drag this off point, but to clarify, DTGP was our last game in the round, so should have been the most evenly-matched. They whooped us 5-0 in about 4 minutes I think.
It seems to me that swiss rounds is the least bad option in terms of fairness when you have a lot of teams to schedule, but round-robin is faultless. So more tournaments with fewer teams is fairer. What's a realistic number to do round-robin in one day, 8? 10?
Maybe 20 teams in the UK interested in going? 7-10 in London, maybe a bit more outside London? Could work.
