Option 1: 8 pools of 8 with the top 2 from each pool advancing to a 16 person elimination bracket
Option 2: 16 pools of 4 with the top 1 from each pool advancing to a 16 person elimination bracket
Option 3: 16 pools of 4 with the top 2 from each pool advancing to a 32 person elimination bracket

But. I dunno if any of these are better than your current plan. It's a question of where in the process you want to be strict about entry...and whether you are willing to have people play 14 matches simultaneously (in the case of 8 person pools..).

14 matches seems a bit much, but I do like the idea of 2 people progressing per group. Maybe option 2 or 3. In the interest of time option 2 would be fine.
