You can set it up like a double elimination bracket.

The problem with the standard double elimination bracket is that it assumes everyone who loses a match will still be participating. That will be the case here.

(I wouldn't cap it at 64, given that there are 128 losers coming out of the main bracket round 1. But I suspect it won't get to 64 anyway.)

Just to put some example numbers to what I'm talking about, here's what the setup would look like if roughly 1/3 of the losers from the main bracket joined the losers' bracket each round:

Round 1: 42 r1 losers -> 21 winners
Round 2: 21 + 21 r2 losers = 42 -> 21 winners
Round 3: 21 + 11 r3 losers = 32 -> 16 winners
Round 4: 16 + 6 r4 losers = 22 -> 11 winners
Round 5: 11 + 3 r5 losers = 14 -> 7 winners
Round 6: 7 + 1 r6 loser = 8 -> 4 winners (at this point, the main tournament has reached its semifinals as well and assuming a third place match won't be sending any more players here)
Round 7: 4 -> 2
Round 8: 2 -> 1

The main difficulty is dealing with odd numbers, but that can be handled with byes. I'd be happy to help with the logistics if that all sounds like a nightmare. ;)

I'm assuming the main point is for the early eliminated players to play a few more games.
I would think that letting in people who were late to the party - like these two - couldn't really hurt. Especially if there's not too many sign-ups for the losers bracket and I don't think there's any prize or whatever on the line?

I think it could get complicated trying to add people from later rounds as they lose, but I guess it would depend on the number of people we have in this bracket to start. My main concern with adding people would be it slowing down the loser's bracket tourney. If they lose on Saturday do they have to sign up for loser's by Monday?? so that the loser's tourney can stay on the weekly schedule? I think it's do-able just harder on the people running it.

Also, I would not be opposed at all to letting in people who missed the main tourney. It seems like those extra numbers would help more than hurt at this point.

Personally not opposed to letting people who didn't play in if we don't hit cap
