I was going to suggest one of these! I'm totally down
Can I suggest so that everyone has a crack at playing a few games, we have a group stage, followed by a double elim bracket just like many other tourneys use
If the groups are split into somewhat similar skill divisions, it could be like
A - GM/M
B - M
C - M/D
D - D/P
E - P
F - G
G - B/S/G
H - B/S
Then, once people advance, pair winner of group A vs Runner up Grp E, etc
That way, even though the plat player who advances probably gets knocked down by a GM, he goes into the loser's bracket and gets the chance to play on.
Doing this, it's just one tournament (which I think is better, I dont like the idea of splitting into different comps just so lower league people have a better chance to win prizes - get people motivated to improve!)
It's great for team building, there's the chance to play people far above your skill level (good practice and maybe cause an upset or two) and it gives everyone at least a few matches
