This is kind of what I was thinking. Since we are going to reorder the new brackets, clans can opt out if they want. More work for me but fun for you guys. Of course, ++The Legion++ doesn't plan on leaving the winners bracket, so there you go.
You could have a 'Cup' and 'Shield' tournaments? Winners stay in the 'Cup' - losers go into the 'Shield'? A bit similar to double-elim - losers of cup 2nd round go into 2nd round of shield. May be a bit much for cup final losers to go into shield final though? Although then it would seem even more pointless to continue after a second defeat? Unless you then have a third contest - the 'Plate'

Let's just play them. I will set them up if people want to play. Might be good practice, plus, it is only 11 games. So not a huge deal.

The main bracket will stay as I originally envisioned it. Like the CC2 or NCAA tournament. That keeps it fun. The bottom 8 bracket and all subsequent "loser" brackets will be reseeded (this is what I meant by re-order). There is really no other way to do it. So, just keep winning and you won't have to worry about a "re-order".
