Thanks for this, here are some suggestions:
The map:
- On the weekends I play on a much older machine than usual, and even with dx7, lowest setting and low resolution I was still having bad fps and laggs. The map is (very) cool and all, but you might want to split it up for tourney-specific purposes.
- The walk from spec to the arena was a long one, might want to add a balcony of sorts close to the arena entrance for participants who want to spectate.
The organization:
- I'm with Saint here regarding the brackets. In a group of 25 people there are always going to be a few dropouts.
+1 for the double elimination system, it was great.
+1 for the arena in itself, felt big enough to give some space to fight in and looked cool.
