hi,
for me the 1on1s are the best situations in the game. when playing with friends in 2on2 and killing one enemy player. one of us waits on the sideline for a fair 1vs1. ( i know how frustraiting 2vs1s are)
so i got the idea for a nice duell mode with more players for longer match time but focus on fair 1vs1 combat.
its basicallya team tournament 4on4 where the 1vs1 duells happen at the same time.
after we have the winners of the first round. all the winners battle against each other in the next duels.
so if you have one good player in your team but the rest dies, this one player has to fight against every other one by one, knowing that all other player will watch him fighting for the team.
the tricky part is: the next round starts simultaneously and with no health refill.
we have seen such a battle before:

here we see player darth maul as the last player of the red team. he has to battle player Qui Gon Ginn of the blue team. after he wins this battle. the next player of the blue team: Obi Wan will fight against him simultaneously.
Round 1 - team blue wins.
