P.S. Although... If there are 8 people, then "everyone plays everyone" results in 7+6+5+4+3+2+1=28 games, which seems like a lot for the first time, right? I think it's better to have 2 groups of 4, with 6 games each. 4 will be eliminated, which is a shame :( Then you can just have semi-finals, a final, and a game for 3rd place, totaling 14 games, which is twice as many. Something like that...
