Think I'm sold on the seeding idea - it's going to make the brackets fairer. So there's a couple of ways to do it which depending on how much detail we want will probably result in 8 games (assuming 8 teams). Snottyotter's plan sounds good for 8 but we can go for a mini-league if there are an odd number of teams. If we make those 5 minute games with golden goal then we're looking at an hour with changeovers. It makes sense not to cap the scoring in those games in order to give the best spread of goal difference.
Then straightforward double elim for the brackets is 15 games at 10 mins which will be 3 - 3 1/2 hrs with dicking about. Depending on how we're doing with time, we can take a view on capping scores at 5.
I can print brackets for 6/7/8 teams.
Sound ok?
