Azz's format sounds intriguing but complicated. I'm pretty confused about your '3 ways to challenge' section, especially the 3rd point.

Regardless, I was never a fan of 'challenge' formats, it's better if matches were scheduled by admins (speaking from past experience).
I like the pyramid tier idea though, but have to think of some way to integrate it into a fixture-based format.

The whole issue of 'mercenaries' is minimized too with a Bo9 format (since you only lose 1 game to the 'overskilled' played) , just have to figure out how to settle their affliation.

The pyramid structure essentially incorporates everything people want to include within this thread, including the roles of mercenaries.

Find a format you can match with this layout and you have a winner.
