Is there a way to set up an elimination tournament where each 'round' is actually a best of 5 series?  I am interested in a 1 v 1 Wargear Warfare tournament, but I would like to mitigate the strong influence of luck by having a best of 5 series for each round to increase the likelihood that the best player advances each round.

Thanks,

Interesting idea. In that case , 2 of the 5 games should be granted to each player to start first.

It is not possible now.

In RR 1 vs 1 tournaments, I would find interesting to have 2 leg games against each players (with every one starting first once, and second once).

I am revisiting this request, if it is not possible to set up a tournament like this, is it possible to set up a tournamnent so the host could monitor a best of 5 series between two players (private games) and then enter the winner for the round in the tournament bracket so that awards and points would be assigned properly?

That would be cool.  I second that request.

I'd love to see more tournament options.  Specifically double elimination tournaments and a way to chain RR tournaments to feed into elimination tournaments.

It's not possible right now but it sounds workable. It would only really work for 1v1 games due to issues with ties for more players.

Having standard double-elim and Chain RR/elim for 1v1 would be great.

Moving to more player games would be cool too.  I have a solution for a 27 person/3 player double elim tournament, but I can't get it to work for any other n person/x player combination.

Also, I had a mathematics paper that I thought would give some a way to do chain RR/elim for n player games, but I can't find it right now.
