I have two ideas for how the tournament can be run. One is to do it as a
set of concurrent sub-tournaments. Each sub-tournament would focus on a
single game, and it would consist of a series of elimination rounds to
determine a champion. The champion of the tournament as a whole would be
whoever is champion of the most sub-tournaments. Prizes would be awarded
for championship in each sub-tournament, and a bonus prize would be given
for winning the whole tournament. By this method, winners would play more
games than losers.

The other idea is for everyone to play the same number of games. Points
would be given for each win or draw, and the whoever scored the most
points would win the tournament. This is how the last multivariant
tournament was done.

With each method, appropriate methods of tie-breaking would be employed if
needed. Let me know your thoughts on which method you prefer and what
reasons you have for favoring one or the other.
