Could also do something interesting if you dont have enough players for a 2v2 tour. Say you have 8 people on or whatever, randomly draw teams of 2v2 for a FT3. Grant points to each player on the team individually for the win, randomly draw new 2v2 teams from the 8 players (no repeats) and go again. You will end up having 7 BO3s tvts, should be able to be run off relatively quickly if you have all 8 online at the same time, and the winner isnt a team as such but the best tvt partner arguably.
Weird unbalanced matchups can happen, but as long as you try to be as random as possible when drawing teams rather than picked (i.e. some people might think "shit, its Dan and Lee's turn to team up - I wont pick Frank for my team mate this time, I want someone better haha) then it could be a fun twist on tvt.
i had thought of an idea like this previously, but for an active ladder. when i did the math with normal scoring it quickly became a "who is online most" competition.
so i played around with the idea of wins adding points and losses taking them away. that way even if u play a lot more than some others they can catch up with some wins or losses on your side.
prob make a floor of zero that way i dont have to get embarrassed with a score of -57
