I'd rather the entire top 12 have equal chance to win instead of the top 6 getting two chances for a title. But your idea got me thinking, and I think I have a satisfactory alternative.
Last time 3 rounds took too long so it has to be 2 rounds with the second round only having the final game. But we can still play 5 games giving everyone two good chances to get into the final game. Everyone plays two 6p games at the same time for the first round. All the winners play in the final 4p game. If a player wins both of his first two games then he is automatically Dominator. The top 6 and bottom 6 play a game and 1,3,5,7,9,11 and 2,4,6,8,10,12 play a game at the same time.
I think the game should be advanced increasing to minimize the chance of stalemates. We also have to choose the right maps so that the games move quickly enough. I suggest Mediterranean States for the 6 player games and Europe for the 4p game. Do you guys think this kind of mini tournament will work better and are you ok with the map choices?
