I think this is a GREAT suggestion!!
Why not do both ? eh?

It can work easily...

you can do both at the same time .. you would need observers and strict boundaries. Definitely no running. And I suggest if we don't have enough to fill both teams out that we have Observers launch say galleons or light sloops to fill the sides to keep out unwanted attacks from other ships. One observer is not enough for 20 ships. If you want I'm sure we can find people willing to make sure everything is fair and all rules are being followed.

and a random draw for the opponent... perhaps observers crewing together and choosing a number between 1-100... then have the captains say a number - two closest to the number face off. Repeat until you have all captains assigned for the first round. Launch your ships and have first elimination round winners based on 2 out of 3 sinkings. This way if more than 20 captains apply you can still have them in the competition... The observers will need to help keep track of the winning ship for the second elimination round. You follow the same procedure until you get it a winning ship - with each round less ships will be involved until you get to the final two ships. This may be spread over several nights or a certain night in the week. Could be great fun


BTW count me in, LOL
