18 members, then a last 16 proceed to straight KO. easy

eveyone got a chance to duel each other, only 2 players don't advance. you will need to enforce strict time frames for each KO round, i.e. make sure everyone completes their duels asap.
sounds good to me and it will be the best way to complete it before christmas while allowing ppl to make the KO stage. Use what i did @ 49 tours with last 16 (re: based on score) i wouldnt advise another, smaller group stage, straight KO means you can be lucky / unlucky - It increases the probabilities of more varied builds to advance further. [ i.e. an element of chance, where otherwise so many builds would not get as far ].
