I have been away for a while, so tournaments are new to me. I do not know yet how those can actually get scheduled. I could use a primer on that.

But I can at least perhaps offer advice on how to lay out the games. Let me see if I understand the structure - I interpret it as...

Code:
D01 : 20 teams straight to playoffs

D02 : T01 v T02 (3 games)
D03 : T01 v T02 (3 games)
D04 : T01 v T02 (3 games)
D05 : T01 v T02 (3 games)
D06 : T01 v T02 (3 games)
D07 : T01 v T02 (3 games)
D08 : T01 v T02 (3 games)
D09 : T01 v T02 (3 games)
D10 : T01 v T02 (3 games)
D11 : T01 v T02 (3 games)
D12 : T01 v T02 (3 games)

D13 : round robin (1? game against each) : T01 T02 T03 T04 T05 T06 T07 T08 T09 T10
The big question is when should the games occur? Presumably the 10-team division has all its games spread out, one set of matchups at a time, but maybe they should be paired up so that 2 or 3 of the matchups are played at time. Are the 3 games for each of D02-D12 cases all separated or are they in a single chunk of time like 3 straight days?

Here is one possibility with one game at a time with dates pulled out of thin air. The two-team division cases all have 2 at home for T01 and 1 at home for T02. The 10-team division gives each team either 4H/5A or 5H/4A.

Code:

T01 @ T10   T02 @ T09   T03 @ T08   T04 @ T07   T05 @ T06

May10 (each of D02 - D12)
