whenever we have the minimum of 8 or more players signed up, we as a group would formally discuss the torunament structure. Preliminarily though I'd say it'd be a form of double elimination which ensures that each participant gets to play 2 games at least ( 2 losses). I imagine for 8 players there will be a maximum of 5 games played assuming starting from the lowest bracket all the way to the championship game. Assuming that we start in February there will be 16 months to play 5 duel games in time for the 10th anniversary of Fall from heaven. This basically means that each set can last a maximum of 3.2 months after which a neutral decision will be made to declare the winner if the game has not completed naturally.
The hope is that because the game is a duel game, turns will potentially be able to pass more quickly between two people. Similarly it is hoped that opponents may be able to schedule some time to more quickly pass turns back and forth So that a game can end quicker than the 3.2 month deadline. We may decide to try to schedule the initial games by timezone depending.
These are just my thoughts and I hope they seem reasonable. I welcome your and everyone else's feedback.
