general comments:
- you might have trouble hitting 64. maybe lookup some of the players already knocked out and shoot them a message to see if they would be interested? a bunch of the knocked out players rarely post so they likely won't see this. even regular posters might not check in once they have been knocked out.
- you will probably want to cutoff registration sometime friday or saturday. that way you can set up seeds and brackets sunday and keep pace with the tournament at large.

[AdamH]

Interested, but Please PM me or notify me somehow (not on the DS Championship subforum) if it's actually going to happen so I can make sure to see it.

[Schneau]

Would be interested, but I probably don't have time - it was a blessing in disguise to lose in the first round.

1) Will do that a bit later today
2) Saturday at 11:59:59pm forum time sounds reasonable.

[Tdog]

I'm interested

[Axxle]

/in

[Harniver]

Interested!

[Insomniac]

I have now contacted all people who have lost their first round already.

[Dekryr]

I'm in.

[BestKenEver]

Please add me, thank you!

[GwinnR]

I wanna sign in too.

[Joseph2302]

if i lose on saturday (playing at 1600 GMT), i would be interested.

[Drab Emordnilap]

So wait, the people who advance further than the first round don't get to play anymore after they're eliminated, but the first round eliminatees do?

There might be a losers bracket 2 but normally round 1 is where the biggest upsets happen and where people are still the most amped to play

Would make it impossible to have a "bracket", but you could have a window each week to allow losers of the current main bracket to join the losers bracket, and then shuffle them in with the winners from the previous round of the loser's bracket. That is:

Now 'til ~Tuesday: Signups for Round 1 of Losers' Bracket (Round 1 main tournament losers)
Week 1 (~Tuesday-Monday or whatever): : Round 1 of Losers' Bracket + Signups for Round 2 of Losers' Bracket (Round 2 main tournament losers)
Week 2: Round 2 of Losers' Bracket (winners of Round 1 LB + new signups) + Signups for Round 3 of LB (Round 3 main tournament losers)
etc.

Each week, everyone still participating has the same "record" between the two tournaments. Re-seed, or just do a big random draw every round.

tl;dr: Make it more like a Swiss format, and once you have two losses between the tournaments, you're out.

[theory]

Yes, traditionally loser's brackets incorporate subsequent losers in later rounds.

[Axxle]

You can set it up like a double elimination bracket.

I meant as in like there could be a completely seperate losers bracket 2, that said I am open to suggestions for how to incorporate people from later rounds
