Yeah, I thought it was pretty neat.
With 30 teams and 2 courts you could do something like the following? It does seem to take much more time however...
4 rounds of swiss then top and bottom teams go out with each extra round = very accurate top 9 after ~18.5 hours.
3 rounds of swiss then top and bottom teams go out with each extra round = very accurate top 9 after ~16 hours.
4 rounds of swiss then top 2 and bottom 2 teams go out with each extra round = pretty accurate top 10 after ~12.5 hours.
3 rounds of swiss then top 2 and bottom 2 teams go out with each extra round = pretty accurate top 10 after ~10.5 hours.
Maybe worth doing as an experiment for another time? In my opinion it'd be cool to work out a format that meant the UK Champs/Euro Qualifier could continue to be the same event.
