So now I am thinking about how the 2nd and 3rd rounds are going to go. I figure 97 HW will yield maybe 10-20 or more 3-0 fighters. I had given some thought to a 4 fighter tournament based on performance points. Then again, with the random fights, a fighter rated 10 might miss out because of the quality of opponents. So the Variant commisioner has decided that two fights with no victory is the ticket out of the tournament. LL, DD, LD and your done. Anybody have another idea??

What I'd do is have the first round be a fight-in round. With 97 fighters we want to pair it down to 64 entries for the first round. Thus we need to have 33 fights among the 66 lowest seeded fighters. Each of the 66 fighters has 1 fight...at the end of which 33 are eliminated leaving your field of 64.
