The previous few pages seem very good, full on interesting ideas, though I've been trying to wait until the tournament is over to express a few of my observations.
The idea of including both speed was in light of the fact that I wanted a large tournament with people I've played in both medium and fastest settings. I do not believe the NA community is large enough to have a single speed tournament (unless the new players who aren't aware of the organized side of Warbands join in large numbers).
The tournament, despite all the controversy it has sparked was actually simple to create. I hate to sound like a guy peddling a website but http://challonge.com/ is an excellent tool for the creation of single/double/roundrobin tournaments. And http://kmleague.net/ for you tech savvy people.
I thought the mixture of fastest and medium setting would be resolved once we moved on to the ladder tournament which was my old plan. The higher ranked player would always be challenged by a lower ranked player thus always giving him the advantage of picking speed.
But perhaps the creation of two different leagues (fastest/medium) each with its own cropped play-off tournament crowning two different champions. Maybe adding a few random inter-divisional matches for fun. The two champions would meet in an aggregated home/away Final Match (where away kills count more than home kills).
I'm just tossing ideas out there.
