I've spotted an inconsistency in the details for how the tournament will
be run. I said that 10-12 will be played round robin, and I said that 12+
will use elimination rounds. So I've said contradictory things about what
we'll do with 12 people. I have now removed the inconsistency by going
with round robin for 12 people with three rounds of four, four, and three
games. This would allow everyone to play 11 games. Anything above 12 will
keep the maximum number of games at 11, while allowing all the strongest
players to play each other, by using elimination rounds.

If we go with elimination rounds, I am considering making only the second
an elimination round, allowing everyone to play at least 8 games. If 13 or
more sign up, then I will let everyone in the tournament vote on the
matter, with any abstention counting as a vote for what I originally said
I would do.
