Unusual Tournament Formats

Orim

How would people feel about doing some different styles of tournaments?

Two ideas I had where the following :

Royal Rumble Style : You have a certain amount of participants and during the vent you randomly fight anyone that's available. You can fight the same person up to three times in a row, if it comes out that way. After the third time yo u would need to wait for someone else to become available. The system would be based off single best of three rounds fights. A player would be knocked out if he lost a fight 2-0. This would represent going over the top rope. Winning one round but losing would be like rolling in off the apron. This could be limited to a certain number of saves if it was felt that this might run too long.

Draft Tournament : Quite simple. A team tournament that would be preceded by a draft of interested players. Teams would need to be quite large, maybe 5 man teams, in order to make the draft aspect more interesting.

Just some ideas to mix things up a bit.

Here's one we actually did in Belfast a couple of times:

Iron Man

Each player is assigned a number. Players 1 and 2 then start playing on one setup, 3 and 4 on another, and so on, depending on the number of available setups. The rest of the players form a queue. When a player loses a match, they go to the back of the queue and the player at the front takes their place. This goes on for two hours or so and the player with the most wins at the end is declared the winner.
