There's three obvious options for me (all series are Bo1)

1: Round robin and hope for the best
2: Double Elimination bracket
3: semi-double elimination bracket, the two winners of the first round play for the #2 seed, the two losers play to not be eliminated, then the two remaining teams (loser of winners bracket and winner of losers bracket) either play for seeding or flip a coin or something

I'd do option 2 myself, seems fairest and prevents endless tiebreakers (which are fun as a viewer but probably a nightmare for the tournament organizer and players).

Bo1 round-robin

feel like that has the potential to screw with the schedule if you start getting 1-1-1-1s

you'd have to do something like (BO1s):

g1: t1 v t2
g2: t3 v t4
g3: winnerg1 v winnerg2 (winner UB)
g4: loserg1 v loserg2
g5: loserg3 v winnerg4 (winner LB p1)
g6: loserg4 v loser g5 (winner LB p2, loser eliminated)

e: now that I visualise it, that's just a double elimination bracket. not sure how they seed it but it doesnt really matter

I’m not going to argue that a GSL bracket wouldn’t be the best way to do these tiebreakers, but the published tiebreaker rules are Bo1 round-robin.

Well, hat tip to the organizers, it did in fact perfectly sort the teams.

Sad about Spirit. Maybe don’t lose all your first games, boys.
