Peanut's 3X Double-Elimination Singles Tournament

Basically, it is bracket-type tournament with each round being itself a double-elimination series. All 64 players will be grouped by 4 and the winner of each group will be the winner of the double-elimination round and move on to the following round in another group with 3 other winners. Note that elimination doesn't mean a loss in a single game but rather in a set of games against one opponent (i.e. best of 3). You can lose no more than one set of games per round.

The tournament winner will therefore have to win 3 consecutive 4-player double-elimination brackets.

Each player must choose a home map when they sign up.

For those unfamiliar with a double-elimination bracket, here is the format for 4 players (which we will be using).

How the tournament works
Round 1
64 players grouped in 4s randomly.
Double-elimination brackets for each group (see diagram above).
5 games at a time (2 on each home map, 1 on random map).
Match-up winner determined by best of 5.
Winner of the bracket moves on to the next round.

Round 2
16 players grouped in 4s by ranking (see below).
Double-elimination brackets for each group (see diagram above).
7 games at a time (3 on each home map, 1 on random map).
Match-up winner determined by best of 7.
Winner of the bracket moves on to the next round.

Round 3
4 finalists in the same group.
Double-elimination brackets (see diagram above).
9 games at a time (3 on each home map, 3 on random maps).
Match-up winner determined by best of 9.
Winner of the bracket claims victory in the tournament!

[spoiler=Ranking]Rankings, used for Rounds 2 and 3, will be determined according to the following criteria. Rankings are reset after each round and previous rounds are not included.

1. Fewest match-up losses
2. Fewest game losses
3. Most away game wins
4. Most random game wins
5. Most home game wins
6. Sorted randomly
   
   Groups will then be formed using the Serpentine system (see here)

[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Game Settings]All games will be :

• 1v1
• Standard
• Automatic
• Sequential
• Escalating
• Chained
• 20 Round limit
• No Fog
• No Trench

[/spoiler]
[spoiler=TPA3 scoring]Based on the diagram, the rankings per bracket are :

1. Winner
2. Loser of Game 6 (or 7)
3. Loser of Game 5
4. Loser of Game 3

*Note that I will use the term Match-up to mean the series best of X, and game to mean an individual game. For example, in the first round, each match-up consists of 5 games.
Tiebreaker amongst the various brackets (i.e. for all 2nd places in Round 1, all 4 places in Round 2) :

1. Fewest match-up losses
2. Fewest game losses
3. Most away game wins
4. Most random game wins
5. Most home game wins
6. Fastest game win

If still tied, players will receive the same final ranking.[/spoiler]
