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..).

I had been going back and forth between the current setup and Option 2 before the tournament started and I saw the number of signups. Unfortunately at this point I think it's too late to switch it. I know people have already been messing around and I believe even Szei has dropped out once they realized they could no longer advance with the current setup...
