Why do you want to use a direct elimination system and not a "swiss paring system tournament" (like for chess). This paring system allows to play all the round even if you loose the first one. Which is better for gaming interrest.
Quick explanation: You just have to plays each rounds against team with the same "strength" than you (same number of "wins").
Just need a paring software (you can find a lot for chess) and decides for a 6 rounds tournament. You can play whatever the number of teams (don't matter about 2**n). Morever, that allows "draw" (same number of kills).
What about this idea ? (I totally aggree with me )
