If people have all their setting memorized (you could just write them on a post-it or something) player swapping shouldn't be a huge deal. That said, switching people around half way through a best of 3 is illogical. That's just increasing the number of switches for no clear gain.

It's completely doable to run a 64 person tournament on 32 computers. If you pair off the computers, you can arrange games such that players will only have to wait for one game to get back on their computer. Say you have 32 computers available. Pair them into 16 pairs. then divide the initial 64 player bracket into 16 parts. See below:

+ Show Spoiler +

This way, players will always know which game's conclusion they are waiting for and for the first five rounds of play, will be on only one of two computers. After the five games finish, only 32 players are remaining, So there would be no conflict for computers. Then you just do games whenever both people are ready.

This is how SSBM tournaments were run when there weren't enough TVs. It works pretty well while there are still >32 people in the tournaments.
