In the third round, we'd need three files: one for the zero-strike group, one for the one-strike group, and one for the two-strike group.

And so on.

So in an 8-round tournament, we'd only need 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8 = 36 files. For a tournament the size of the current OT (275 total signups), we'd actually need 9 rounds to get down to one player, but that still means we'd only need 45 files. That's less than the current OT requires. (7*8 = 56 files.)

Hmmm didnt see it like that. How would you compute the difficulties needed at each round ?

Also doesnt that system makes it so the upper half of R1 which ends on lower half of R2 will play against lower half R1 that ends in upper half R2 ? Idk if that's good or bad, just making sure that's what you had in mind.
