Rule clarification questions:
1. Are we supposed to reveal what our 3 classes are before the match or not?
2. What is the timeframe for the "rounds" and does the order matter?

Supose more probable win distribution. Here's results for both round robin and double elimination (calculated, not simulated):

Win probabilities
1   0.0   0.6   0.7   0.8
2   0.4   0.0   0.6   0.7
3   0.3   0.4   0.0   0.6
4   0.2   0.3   0.4   0.0
Round robin
Advance
1 0.7651199999999999
2 0.59824
3 0.40175999999999995
4 0.23488
Win
1 0.47312
2 0.28424
3 0.16176000000000004
4 0.08088
Double elimination
Advance
1 0.7858400000000001
2 0.6075466666666668
3 0.39245333333333327
4 0.21416000000000004
Win
1 0.5531754666666664
2 0.2763130666666666
3 0.1245696
4 0.04594186666666668

So both if we need to determine 2 advances and if we need to determine single winner double elimination is better. In case you provided there is no difference between double elimination and round robin - only the fact that however was paired with trash was decided by draw and not by skill, but supposedly skills are same

I'm not sure how you judge that double elimination is better based on that. The winner distribution is lower entropy because more games are played, and by averaging over all potential initial brackets you avoided the major issue which is the impact of the initial matchup. The problem is that the result depends too much on who plays whom first.

Player one is the best player and also wins more of the time in double elimination.  I haven't checked his math yet, though.

This is a single example of a win probability matrix, and it's clear that player 1 is the best because he is 50%+ in all matchups.
So any reasonable format should have him win more of the time, and the one that involves more games will increase that chance. This is not particularly interesting.

In fact, let's make this super mathy...
Let the win probability matrix be a random variable X, and call the max wieght row k
Let the format be a mapping f:X-->y, where y is the win probability vector.

In this example it seems we are trying to maximize y(k) subject to X=A.

But I contend this is not what we want to maximize. What we want is that the random winner be the best predictor of the best player, that is:
maximize P(A(i) >= A(j) for all rows j | z = i, where z is drawn from the distribution given by y).

By making A non-random, this example doesn't really show anything.

Wait, a double elim bracket takes more games than round robin, for four people?

Yeah. Round Robin is 6 games. Double elim is 6 + P(LB winner beats WB winner)

2. What is the timeframe for the "rounds" and does the order matter?

1.  Not required, but allowed.
2.  I would generally say 2 days per round.  Since the format is round robin, the only reason to force the rounds to be played in order (i.e., no round 2 matches until round 1 is over) would be to build suspense.  So I think you can just play your matches.

I was more interested in advancement percantages. And there double elim is supposedly better even with less game played. Also if there is no clear order I do not see any metrics to use

mikohoy 3 - bkirbit 2

Now that we're all done, are deck lists going to be posted? It would be interesting if everyone knew how the deck matchups went.

This one was
me : TA
warlock < shaman
paladin > warrior
warlock < warrior
priest > hunter
warlock > hunter

vs nick was:
warlock < warrior
paladin < mage
paladin < hunter

vs pops I don't quite remember, but I think it was:
warlock > priest
paladin > warrior
priest > priest

Mine (I think) were:

Me : TA

Warrior > Warrior
Mage > Warrior
Hunter < Warrior
Hunter < Hunter
Hunter > Shaman

vs HME was:
warlock < warrior
paladin < mage
paladin < hunter

vs Pops was:

hunter < Warrior
Warrior > Priest
mage < priest
mage > paladin
hunter > paladin

I'm not 100% sure about the match vs pops.  I know that the order of wins and my classes were right, but his might be off.

I definitely wouldn't play my hunter deck again.  I ended up going 3-3 with it, and all of the losses were not at all close and all of the wins I barely got and I felt like I drew well above average.  I was very happy with my warrior deck, and my mage deck was okay.
