I have modified the previous formula in two ways:
  • A win and a draw at one game will often be enough to advance to the tournament for that game.
  • The playoffs are by sudden elimination, with the player who ranked higher in the round-robin playing as White and qualifying in case of a draw.
See here.

Does it suit you?
Are there enough players interested?
Do you think it adds up to too many games? (six in the round-robin, about five in each game tournament for those who advance to the final, three or four for the overall championship)
How about playing the whole thing over two years?
