Let’s wait and see how many people are there on Saturday. We already have 16 people signed up; if we can get enough there to have 6 teams then we will have to do something different anyways.
I see kappa’s points but I think Rydell’s reasoning for changing things up a little is to give people more play time. If you are on a bad team, you get to play 1 20 minute round right now and thats it; with rydell you get to play at least 2 rounds even if you suck horribly. Besides, rydell’s plan incorporates 4 rounds instead of 3 which isnt exactly a huge difference in time espececially since we do have the extra time to play with, so why not give it a shot? or something like this where there can be no tie
ex:
round 1
team 1 vs team 2 -> team 1 wins
team 3 vs team 4 -> team 3 wins
round 2
team 1 vs team 3 -> team 1 wins (team 1 advances to final)
team 2 vs team 4 -> team 2 wins (team 4 eliminated
round 3
team 2 vs team 3 -> winner advances to final
team 1 vs team 4 on some fun map just for fun or they can opt not to play
round 4
team 1 vs winner of team 2 vs team 3
