See I would rather he do something like this.
6 man blocks with the top 4 in each division making it out of their group. Have a points system where a submission is 4 points, a pin is 3 points and a time limit draw is 1 point.
Once you get out of the round play, re-seed the tournament into a single elimination 8 wrestler bracket where the highest point total is the 1 seed and the lowest point total is the 8 seed.
1
8
3
6
2
7
4
5
Then just let the wrestlers complete the bracket and it ends with whoever wins the elimination bracket.
I would have the #1 seed advance and face the 7 seed, even if the 7 seed is someone like Bryan Danielson. You could run it like the 7 seed is this fantastic wrestler who had a string of bad luck early, rallied to make the bracket, and then turned it up to make it to the final.
