I think it'd be nice to let both people in a matchup start a game with their opponent, choose their own map, and play a third game if necessary with FTA going to one person or the other based on seed.

Also CombatEX, would you like to enter the tournament?

Unfortunately I'm going to be on vacation a week or so from now for 7+ days so I think I'll have to sit this one out. I'd definitely be interested in any future tournaments though =)

As for being overly complicated, I essentially proposed what it seems you've decided upon. Yea, you're right though, might as well just give third fta or map decision choice to the higher seeded player instead of worrying about all that tiebreaker stuff.

However, my reason for the veto system when choosing the initial map was in case the two players can't decide on one. If they agree on a map then that's all good, but in the case there is a dispute on which map the first two games should be played on I thought we should probably have some rule set forth (for example simply having each player take turns eliminating maps until only one is left).

Anyway, good luck with the tournament! Hope everything works out well as I'd like to see more of these in the future =D
