is it like 4 pods 4 each people. single elimitation and the winners move on or do you have a losers bracket?

But really, 4 player games of edh can go for hours. dont try to run more than 3 rounds imo.

We did rounds that were 1hr long (I think it was 1hr, no 5 turns). If you won your table you got 3 points, if you were alive and time ran out it was 2 points, and if you played the whole round until dead you got a point. The most points won after 3 rounds.

The reasoning behind the 1 point for playing out a round was to stop random things like someone swinging w/ sword of feast and famine and the person they are attacking scoops because they are going to die but then the attacker doesn't get to untap lands, etc. Also if i have 20 power of attackers and you have no blockers you might scoop because if I attack you then you would die, but this allows me to attack someone else an essentially get a relentless assault for free.

One big issue one person had was their strategy. They went full out and blew two people out in a game, but I managed to shut down their attack plan and beat them. They felt they should have gotten something more then myself because they defeated two players at the table while I only took him out. I think it was just poor decisions on his part to kill people that could have helped kill me, but his view point might be worth taking into consideration.
