I realized that between 1990-2021 a 128 game bracket would have an average of four games per year. In a decade it'll be down to around three per year. I wonder if GameFAQs/other communities would ever consider a 256 game bracket. Like we could do one now and it wouldn't be that fodder-ific (less so than the two GotD contests we've had), but it would create a long contest...

A 256 game bracket can be possible, especially since we've had contests in the range of 63-68 days in length. If you wanted to run a 256 game contest within that length of time, you would need the following format:

4-4-4-4-4-2-2-1

That is the matches per day for each round of the contest, which results in a 66 day contest. The real meat of the contest is round 1, taking up 32 days of a 66 day contest. I know a lot of people would probably like to see more rounds of just 1 match per day, or 2 matches per day (in place of 4 per day). Making that change would require something like 8 matches per day in round 1 just to cut down the length the contest.
