Undertaker.: How would single elimination tournaments work as a team tournament? - that is how would the match up work since the current format of the tournament is that it would be easy enough to make the first round be one team against another team, but the next round, the winner of each round moves forward so it would turn into where players on the same team would play themselves.

As for being able to let the captain switch around the order of players. An interesting idea, but for myself if I'm not too good of a player, and if the captain decided to place me against the top player as a "sacrafice" lose so the team can keep their top player to play someone else, I would be a little upset. That is at least now how it is setup, if I'm the 4th best of the team, I know I'll go against the 4th best on the other team - I may still be over matched, but at least it would give me more of a chance then going against their top player.

coan.net: Lol. I think about my first idea you're thought as a team player and about second idea you're thought as just a player.

Well, present format of tournament is more adequate, i don't have questions about that, but i suggest that sometimes could be used single elimination tournament. I think that would work as a team tournament too, because it's always a competition between teams and the more strong will be the winner. Besides, a single elimination tournament with a little time control would be beneficial for brain knight, because when his team is eliminated and round is finished, can play other team tournament. However, in present format with a long time control, rounds are very slow.

About the captain switch around the order of players, i think firstly must be tryed out in challenges between 2 teams to see what people think about that and if is more funny and strategic. I think so and talking about your question, you as 4th best player can be placed in first position, but you can play against top player or againt a worse player than you. You don't know how the other captain placed his team. Ok, you can be sacrificated, but your team can be the winner for that. Well, belong to team is this, the more important is the team.

coan.net: To finish about my second idea, many times when you see teams that already sign up and see rating of each player, you know who will be the winner team. Only time out can cause surprise. With my idea, there's more strategy. :)
