Glad to see a tournament thread here. Tournaments have exploded in Florida, but I don't see a lot of chatter here on pinside about tournaments. At some point I would like to have a small tournament (~24 people) at my house. I'd be interested in seeing some different formats that I could use. I was thinking about using a bank of five games and having a standard qualifying except that each player only gets 20 tickets to split among the 5 games as needed. Qualifying would cut the field to 10 players with the top 6 getting a single bye. Finals would be in groups of four and possibly the bank of machines might be rotated slightly.

We've also discussed having a Pinbrawl of sorts here in Florida set in a central location. Any thoughts on how to run something like that?
