I really like John's idea,  I wasn't thinking very much when I thought of the
four team tourney.  An eight team tournament is a good idea, in fact I agree
more with any tournament which has a power of 2 number of teams (2,4,8...)
because it removes all of the byes and de-emphasizes the seedings a bit.  Now
if it could only incorporate the independents...
