It's all up to GameKnot_com. They will decide if they want to do something with this idea, and, how they will work out the details we have been discussing here.

The draw problem could be solved by:
A) the winner is to have a perfect score, i.e in the case of a draw both participants are eliminated.

  give draw odds to Black.

A) is impossible in my proposal - all rounds need to have 2^n amount of participants, if two get eliminated instead of one, that's all out of the window
  Would be possible but I believe it to give an unjust random advantage to whoever happens to get the Black pieces. (i.e. a 2000 would only need a draw against a 1500 to "win", just because he happened to be the second to advance)
C) Starting new games between the two players until there is a winner still seems like the best idea to me

D) What about the final round(s)? Any ideas on that?

All the talk of draws says they've seen our ........
team match record.

Aren't the regular monthly GK tournaments in effect KO events? Even scores result in multiple "winners".
