If we really want this to work, something has to be done about Toribash servers first, and I doubt its possibility at the moment.
This isn't really a big deal; there's a pretty simple fix for it: run three servers, but for two different purposes.
The 1st and 2nd server will run with a maximum of 30 players; from there, those two winners will be advanced to the third server immediately—kinda like how players get forwarded from playing multiplayer into a matchmaking server whenever they're waiting. In this case, one player may have to wait a bit for his opponent (probably 5 to 15 minutes), but that's understandable. Match lengths vary,
especially depending on the mod.
In the third server (maxclients 2), the two players will play in a best of five setting. Whoever wins will be automatically sent the prize. Again, could still be pretty neat. (:
