Absolute Zero wrote:*edit* Actually... An Arena based tournie would be extremely easy to set up... Have everyone who wants to participate sign up their characters they want to use, only fights against the other participants count, each level gets a champion. Round Robin style scoring, best win % wins since you can't assume everyone's going to have the same amount of fights, so you can't go off kills... Wouldn't need a story, it's essentially a slugfest...
I'd still go for a tennis tournament style, you'd have grand slam, feeder tournaments mens/womens finals (bot/con - maxi/pred ) seeded players and what not.
It's easy to work with bye's and weather won't be a problem.
