Well, I don't think we should do Prelims. It would take pretty long and, possibly, not everyone would fight. I think it should be unranked. Rankings change so much that the person you have at #3 might be at #12 by later in the day (#12 is still good, but I'd rather be #3). Besides, sometimes rankings make someone look better, or worse, than they really are.
Example: When I found out I was against PrivateMike in ResidentEvil2's tourney i looked up his rank. it was 449 so i thought i had nothing to worry about. i didnt train as hard, and slacked off quite a bit. On the day of the match I looked up his rank. Much to my surprise his rank was *GASP* 56!!!! Needless to say, I was crushed.
That taught me not to take my opponents for granted. So, in conclusion, I think it should be round robin unranked.

(Wouldn't I be great for a high school debate team?)
