McCon III 40K Tournament Planning

Trying to design the tourney for McCon, figured I'd ask all of you guys for assistance.

1. 1500 or 1750? Our Host is leaning toward 1750.
2. Format?
3. Rounds?
4. Scoring?
5. Brackets?

Figure we can hammer this out among our selves.

I thought we where going to go 1500 due to time constraints? I am fine with either.

Size: 1500-1750, Forge World "40K Approved" allowed, no super heavy or anything Apocalypse.
Game Time Limit: 2 Hours
Format: Swiss Style like Gottacon? I think it worked really well.
Scoring: Win, Loss, Draw
Brackets: See format?

I thought the plan was to do 3 games in one day? Have a prize for best general, and best painted, and thats it.

i'll second 1500.... just to keep things quick.... it's not a major event, so we should leave some time for other things!

2h rounds is cutting it a bit close, we want to kee this casual still. i'd go for 2.5h, also since not everyone will have a movement board.

How early do we want to start? there are some people comming from vic, and we only have to accomodate 8h or so, so it could be 10 or 11 start. alternately we could start at 9, leaving lots of time for lunch and further games in the evening....
