Format

Double Elimination,
Double Elimination is a tournament format in which the players will start off in the winner's bracket, playing just 1 game. The winning player advances to the next round, the losing player drops into the loser's bracket. If the player loses again, they are eliminated from the tournament. Completely winning the loser's bracket brings you back into the finals of the winner's bracket for a chance at redemption. The player coming from the winner's bracket has to beat their opponent only once. The player coming from the loser's bracket will have to beat their opponent twice.

Round Robin
Round Robin is a tournament format in which each player will fight every other player once. Every win is rewarded with a point. A tie will reward both players with 1/2 point. The two players with the most points will face off in the best of 3 finals round. In case of a tie in point count, players will have to play against players they are tied with. The winner will proceed to the finals.
Player size of this tournament will likely be limited to 6 to prevent tournament from taking too long.
