As I'm expecting 8 teams total now, I'd suggest we play the tournament straight away as the courts don't get busy until the afternoon. Then we won't have lots of competition for the space and can have friendly throw-ins later on.
I think double elimination is best as that means 15 tournament games total, single elim would be 7 games and round robin would be 28 games.
Then if we play 10 minute timed games the actual tournament bit will last 3 to 4 hours, including stoppages and time between games.

What does everyone think to that?
