The Schedule is simple. 3-4 days for designing, 2-3 days for voting, 1 day for submitting parasite rules. The event schedule is posted below, with the brackets.

BRACKETS:Below is an APPROXIMATION of the brackets. Essentially, the Winner's Bracket is accurate, but the Loser's Bracket will be shortened by group stages.
Additionally, to lessen the disadvantage of playing in the 4 preliminary matches, the losers of those matches will enter the Loser's Bracket at THE SAME TIME as the losers of the following Round's 8 games.
Parasites will also NOT be created from the 4 preliminary matches. My apologies if you were looking forward to being a Parasite, but it would be unfair on those who had the misfortune to play those 4 games. Remember, you might have a chance to be a Parasite when/if you get knocked out of the Loser's Bracket.
The Tournament Schedule will therefore run like this:
Round 1: 4 Games in Winner's.
Round 2: 8 Games in Winner's.
Round 3: 4 Games in Winner's, 4 Groups of 3 in Loser's.
Round 4: 2 Games in Winner's, 2 Groups of 4 in Loser's.
Round 5: 1 Game in Winner's, 1 Group of 3 in Loser's.
Round 6: Final.
(Round 7: Repeated Final if Winner's Bracket Winner lost.)
