I cannot figure out how to set up an elimination tournament. All I can figure out is how to do a Swiss tournament.

Can you delete people between rounds? If so, run it as a Swiss but as people lose, drop them before pairing the next round.

My FLGS did an elimination tournament last month, it was pretty fun.

Each player brought 3 decks. You pick one and play one game against your opponent. If you lose, that deck is out for the rest of the tournament.

You go until all 3 of your decks are eliminated, or until you've won. It worked pretty good.

Hope that helps.

EDIT: For the record, the pairings during this tournament were setup Swiss. There's not really another way to do it. I mean if you're doing single deck elimination you don't really need any software or setup, you just get all the people that won and randomly pair them up.
