If we remain at 20 people I'll have to slightly change the format I'll have to think about it during work because ya we should start this tournament soon.

Five 4-player FFA -> 2 advance -> 10 left
Two 5-player FFA -> 2 advance -> 4 left
One 4-player FFA -> 3-5 games to determine 1-2-3?

Only 5 player map I remember is hwangsanbul though.

There are tons of good 5 player Blizzard maps. For CTF not like traditional balance matters so much.

Also, since this type of multi-player FFA might encourage passivity, I think having something to encourage aggression might be good. Two options I've thought up consist of:

1. In a 4 or 5 player game, the first player to eliminate someone else automatically advances and can just leave the game as victor, leaving the remaining to duke it out for the 2nd spot.

or

2. Setting a small side prize pool for the player who knocks out the most number of opponents throughout the course of the tournament.

Obviously, big thanks BWalma for organizing, and these are just some ideas I thought I'd suggest.

please no blizzard maps. At some point it just becomes unbearable considering mineral positions and that kinda stuff. Pretty imbalanced position wise

For FFAs though these things don't really matter because FFA has a decent amount of luck involved anyway.

I can do it, but I think there's no way to make a bracket really. It should just be a few group stages.

I've played countless amounts of FFA, CTF, etc, in my days, trust me, half decent maps are still just alot more fun as you won't be getting fucked by being unable to defend at all, considering that there might be more than one player who attacks you it's even harder in FFA to defend, especially if you have to protect a flag from being stolen!
