I'm not for the teams idea at all. It was difficult enough picking the 32 finalists for this tournament and pairing them together as evenly as I could, much less segregating and balancing a number of multi-character teams to wage war on one another. Out of the question.
I'm going to continue to leave this thread open, just so I can gather ideas for the next tournament. Sometime during the last few open battles, I'll post a poll for the members to vote on regarding what the theme for the next tournament should be. After the theme has been decided, I'll re-open the character suggestions box and we'll commence with the pre-tournament hullabaloo.
