Not bringing mine but will be good to prod at yours.

Also good news is that we have just taken delivery of the cider and beer...
All i'm saying is this year we won't run out.

Nope, it's Butcombe.

Bristol beer factory do one or two decent beers (Southville Hop is lovely), but many of them are only ok.

Hopefully 4 rounds of swiss and 16 team double elim.

Are you using challonge? Can you set it to 4 rounds on challonge?

Yes we are and no you can't.

With only one court, even four rounds will be a push.

AFAIK using the standings after four rounds shouldn't be a problem.

yeah, you're looking at 2hours a round just in playing time 8-)

You know for 16-32 teams you need at least 5 rounds of Swiss for accurate results?

Unless you do the extra round you'll end up with the same situation at the LO where the best teams haven't played each other (and the same situation further down the table for other evenly matched teams), leading to inaccurate seeding for the elim.

If you do double elim (for all teams) that negates that issue to some extent as the second chance should deal with any bad seedings, but it's not ideal.

with 24 teams a round will be 2 hours plus injuries, plus changeover, plus golden goal (if you don't do draws). So realistically allow 3 hours per round. If you play 10am-10pm that gives you time for 4 rounds, and a 5th round on Sunday. That would leave you enough time for a complete single elim, or a 10 team double elim. If you don't do the 5th round you've got time for a 16 team double elim on Sunday, but not enough time to do everyone (that would require 10-12 hours on one court).

Because of that, from one organiser to another, I'd say 5 rounds + single elim is going to give you more accurate results.

But obviously it's your tournament, not mine, so feel free to tell me to fuck off.

5g > passed it !? you sure?
