Can someone give a time estimate on TRE's plan? I like it, but yeah.
Depends how you structured it.
Winner's Bracket is obviously 63 days (though variable depending on multiple matches per day)
Loser's Bracket is 62 matches, not surprising. From here it's a matter of how you overlay them. Assuming you only start a Loser Bracket Round after that Round ended in the Winner's Bracket. (That is, R1 (L) starts at the same time as R2 (W) you can get:
Days 01- 32: R1 (W)
Days 32 - 48: R2 (W) + R1 (L)
Days 48 - 64: The entire rest of the W Bracket + R2 (L)
Days 65 - 94: The rest of the L Bracket
Day 95: W v L
Day 96 (If necessary): W v L (II)
Now, Days 48-64 are where things run into trouble, causing the winner of the winner's bracket going on a month-long bye during Days 65-94.
Personally, I'd accelerate the Loser's Bracket matches like this:
Days 01 - 32: R1 (W)
Days 33 - 48: R2 (W) + R1 (L)
Days 49 - 56: R3 (W) + R2 (L) [2 matches/day]
Days 57 - 60: R4 (W) + R3 (L) [3 matches/day]
Days 61 - 62: R5 (W) + R4 (L) [4 matches/day]
Day 63: Winner's Bracket Final + R5 (L) [4 matches]
Day 64: R6 (L) [3 matches]
Day 65: R7 (L) [2 matches]
Day 66: Loser's Bracket Finals
Day 67: W v L
Day 68 (if necessary): W v L (II)
The problem here though, is that for 3 days, there are 5 matches going on simultaneously. If you're willing to drag the contest out a bit longer and have the Winner's Bracket winner wait it out a bit for the Loser's Bracket to catch up, you could drop the number of matches there and spread them out over a longer period.
Alternatively, I messed up badly in thinking all this out, which is possible, I'm pretty tired right now!
