Despite what I said to be PG, I'm not opposed to losing my bye-advantage if it means getting another player in the tournament. However, if I understand six-team dbl elimmination correctly, you would actually be going up against Jake and smurph, while I would still be going against Leo and PG, and the loser's bracket would be put on hold since ambient and charlotte would be going against the losers from our matches. It's Inimalist's call, of course.
Ok
Delaying matches until Friday to ensure that nobody has a problem with Id entering
I'm up in the air if I am going to set him against Simbon or try to go on with the next matches, maybe getting Id against Smurph/Jake so that everyone is participating... or maybe something more complex, but I will probably go for simplicity...
But ya, so long as nobody care, Id, you are go, you can start sending me drafts or just post them here or in the proper draft threads. Each draft needs to be accompanied with a theme (how the character fits) and whether the character is undrafted previously, if you want those prep boosts.
I thought id would battle Simbon as a delayed completion of the first round of matches, where the loser and winner would complete the loser and winner brackets respectively, but maybe I'm just not understanding the system properly.
My only comment on id entering now is that there's an advantage to drafting after having seen the first round of matches and knowing opponents strategy, etc. I also recognize the disadvantage of drafting after everybody else though. Meh, I feel pretty ambivalent I guess.

I sure would like that opportunity for like a change of tactics.. ✅
Logically, you would think that since Id and I weren't in round 1, we would be matched together, but that actually creates a problem when you get to the next round, since you have three teams in the winners bracket. Since it's double elimination, the simple solution is to have Id go against smurph and jake, as shown here:
This arrangement would negate my bye-advantage, and would make the match-ups go smoothly; but it would also mean a delay for Ambient and Charlotte, since they would have to wait for the outcome of the other two matches to get their opponents.
Id's drafting advantage is another matter entirely.
Thank you for welcoming into your tournament. Outside of Ambient vs. Leo/PG, I haven’t really paid attention to other teams. So rest assure, there is no deep interest in countering strats.
Really I joined in for the fun of it. I am sort of in a disadvantage in terms of drafting, Cable is my mid tier guy. I build teams from the ground up, using him. But its all good. And although, I just submitted my roster to inimalist. I am contemplating in running a full team of Manga characters just for the hell of it.
the only reason I'm not giving a solid answer on brackets is because I havent had 10 min to sit and think about it. The stuff you guys are posting does make sense, I'm just interested in seeing if I can jockey something that compensates various people given the advantages/disadvantages they are being put in.
Id's drafts:
Bastion
http://marvel.wikia.com/Bastion_(Earth-616)
Spawn (third age)
http://www.comicvine.com/spawn/29-3381/
Dark Schneider (no Majin)
http://outskirtsbattledome.wikispaces.com/Character+profile+-+Dark+Schneider
Since there seem to be some confusion between ages of Spawn across the boards, I will point them out since they are not that confusing really.
1-99 1st Age.
Classic Spawn with Limiters.
100-120 2nd Age (Aka King of Hell)
Spawn goes on to kill Malebolgia, permanently removing the energy limiter from here on. Killing Male, also entitled him to become ruler of Hell, losing his entitlement at the end of issue 120.
121-160 3rd Age.
Back to his classic levels, minus the energy limiter, regaining his real body. He is no longer a walking corpse..sort of.
161-164 4th Age (Aka God Spawn)
He gains God powers from MoM.
165-185 5th Age.
Depowered to a level weaker than his classic era.
See simple. I hoped this helped, clear any confusion. 🙂

lol, I was just going to PM you, but I figured the more eyes the better
I'll basically just defer to you on this, but ya, I had my suspicions
at the very least, a huge number of his spells would be banned as unblockable
In my defense. That bio was built around his Majin form using the L01 unit. It raises his abilities by the thousands or more (I‘ve heard millions) rivaling Seraphim/Demonic Kings.
As a plain wizard, he is at best a mountain buster. He fighting power is below that of a Demon Commander/Dominion Angel Class.
