Unique Tourney Format--feedback wanted

[rotationslim]

Am running a tournament for church league this Saturday. Have 4 teams, High School age boys. They have been playing each other all year, now it is time for a tournament. We play a first round round robin where everyone plays everyone else, then seed into a 4 team bracket to determine champion.

Times are pretty set and quick, as we only have about 2 and a half hours to do the whole thing. It has been done in years past, and is fun because it is fast paced, and everyone gets a piece of everyone. Am looking to make this year the best organized ever.

Below is the framework for each round, I wanted feedback, anyone see any glaring problems? suggestions?
