its a nice initiative but commitment is going to be a huge problem. people rather sit down for a tournament for 4 hours over a day than dedicate an hour for an entire week. also it will be hard to stream etc.
might work better with a league system say players play each other twice a week over a month.
Oooh were you the one who initially posted on TL before someone referred you here? ^^;
As for your idea, I think it's a good one, but I can't think of any niches you'd be filling.
That was me
Hmmm.. It sounds like people are not really that keen.
I really like it because I find the format suits me. I play 1-2 hr most days but find it really hard to set aside 4 or so hours at a set time (which most tournament require). With this format you can play your match at any time that you and your opponent are available.
I understand that people may not want to make a daily commitment. A solution may be to allow 2 days for each round but that may drag it out a little to long. Or allow players to start playing once the brackets are complete.
As far as streaming or prizes goes, I had not even considered that. I was simply going to put on a tournament for people that want to play some more competitive star craft, rather that just ladder all the time.

I had not thought of this, but it sounds really good to me. Might give this a little more thought.
