It would be practically impossible to play that in the gym time that I've been allotted. (Thu night and Friday day).

What if I pre-seeded the teams? I can pretty much seed the teams according to season rankings. Would that simplify things somewhat?

You guys have really been great with your suggestions. I really appreciate it!

Seed the teams, play a double elimination tournament. That's 18 or 19 games. The seeded teams will get a by, and someone won't like it.

Have the two teams that lose the first two games play each other (to get them three games). Total 19 or 20 games.

OR, find two more teams and set up three brackets of 4 teams. ROund robin = 18 games. Top in each bracket, plus "wild card" move on (You'll need to decide the criteria). 3 or 4 games = 21 or 22 total.
