Alright... clearly 256 is a pipedream so I will re-work this. 64 or 96 seems to logical numbers but it will take a bit of time to get there either way. Stand-by and keep the registrations coming.
Ok, the tournament is re-worked into a 64-player event. Unfortunately, 3-player matches become required in the final round of the losers' bracket, but it's the best I could do. All the same rules apply, but the maps used for each round have also been rearranged. Let me know if anyone has questions. 9 more players and we can get this going...
