A win is 2 points, a loss is 0 points. Top two players from each group enter the quarter finals (semi finals or whatever, based on the number of participants). Loser leaves the tournament, winner goes on etc. until there's only one winner.
Yes it would be the "Last Man Standing" Tournament. I'm not sure about scoring the rounds as you move up in the brackets though...like preliminary rounds in the World Cup. To keep it simple and stupid, I thought it would be best for single elimination - once you lose a game, you're out of the tourney. That might be a bit unfair to newer players, but remember this is not a standard game where the usual strategies apply...kill or be killed. However, if the consensus would be to have multiple rounds with points deciding who advances, I'd consider it...but I still like the single elimination way the best.
I do like the bracket idea. I'll have to post it after each round, so the tourney progression could be seen by players and observers. Like you said, it depends on the number of players - but there could be several brackets and rounds up to the championship between the last two remaining.
Perhaps we'll do it twice, once for WW2 and then MBT - to keep everybody happy ('cept the WaW guys...sorry I don't play it anymore).
