Like I said before, they aren't "my" methods. We've been using them since I got hired as GC.

Maybe you missed my statement. Maybe you just ignored it. I don't know. But I'll play it on the safe side and post it again: if you can think of a better format, then do post it.

Otherwise you're just talking non sense. Heres an example. Say you get 26 people for musical chairs. Since only one person is eliminated each round, you'll have a winner 25 rounds later. Thats not a tournament. Thats an LMS event. For a spar tournament, half the people are eliminated each round. That is a massive fundamental difference. It only takes 3-4 rounds for a spar tournament to be complete. Hmmm....25 rounds....4 rounds...now my math skills aren't the best ever, but I do think that 25 is slightly larger than 4. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though.

Look zojo. We've done our monthlys this way for years now, and its never been a problem. We give anyone willing 16 chances to get in our tournament, then find out who the best sparrer among them is. Sounds pretty logical. Sounds pretty efficient. Like I said before, unless you can think of a better format, go back to UN. Clearly you like it better than classic anyways.
