An Outwitters Tournament?

[ArtNJ]

I ran a Hero Academy tournament using a round robin system, where people play everyone in their subgroup, advancement is based on points. I think round robin is a little more fair and interesting than single elimination, although its admittedly harder to run.

But I learned that its a disaster to start a tournament in the first two weeks because there are too many people that wont stick with it. You do better if you wait and get people that know they will be around.
