I think I won't have time or energy for this. Sorry, but it's really not convenient for me right now. I think I need to opt out.

If we don't have many people (6 or less), I think we should do a round robin.

I need three decklists from three players, still.

With only four players, we can go round robin.

Round 1:

Player 1 vs. Player 2
Player 4 vs. Player 3

Round 2:

Player 1 vs. Player 4
Player 3 vs. Player 2

Round 3:

Player 1 vs. Player 3
Player 2 vs. Player 4

Winners get 1 point, top two point getters play a final?

I think it would be unfair to have someone at 3-0 and someone at 2-1 play a winner takes all final -- I think if anything, we should do an advantaged final, that way you need two losses to get eliminated from the tournament.

If someone goes 3-0 in the round robin, they should just win the event, right?

I'll work on decklists and get them to you by the end of the day, Ash.

Uh.  Round Robin vs. Double Elim doesn't really have to do with the game being played in terms of accuracy of the winner.  You'll have to expound if you want to explain what you mean here.

In football and similar games there are neat tie-breakers and stuff. In HS using match scores as tiebreaks seems frowned upon. Actually if it would be up to me I'll make group stages in top football tournaments double elemination as well

Double elim is never more accurate than round robin or swiss, even if you use a d20 for tiebreakers.  Tiebreaker methods that don't make sense look nasty and and make the tournament seem less fair, but are actually more fair than double elims arbitrary way of pairing players for matchups and fewer games played overall.

It's an awful a lot like whether Treasure Map or King's Court is more random.  One of them is just more in your face about it.

I do not believe what you are say is relevant for 4 player groups

^consider 4 players called rock, paper, scissors, and trash. Trash loses to everything, and the rest is standard RPS. Whoever plays vs Trash first will win. Draw out the bracket. He will never have to face the deck that beats him, since that deck will be stuck in the losers bracket with his best matchup nowhere in sight.

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 love how mathy everyone is in a Dominion environment.  You try to explain this stuff to fighting game players, they're like, "Huh, what, double elim the most hype, wanna pump some iron after grand finals?"

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.
