are we talking about round robin/knockout tournament with brackets/byes/seeds, or a league style with playoffs/draft picks/qualifiers/preliminaries against judges, a point system, and everyone vs everyone?
Both could work pretty well, but thinking about it, round robin (every team would play every team iirc) would probably be better. Not only does it mean it's as fair as can be (so not punishing people if they play bad in only one game for example), but we can declare an ultimate winning team at the end of it, rather than just who's at the top of the table. However, if there's lots of players/teams, then a league table could possibly work better, as round robin with lots of teams would create lots of games.
round robin: luck based (unless someone tries to draw the brackets, so tougher people fight more teams), since essentially, one bad match can make the worst team go to the finals. it's a party game/gimmick if anything, which is okay.
league format: more thorough, but more time/energy consuming, and more competetive, but less random/exciting to follow.

Those are based entirely on the comments people left in the original post. I should have added a few myself, but that's an oversight on my part (pretty late when I posted the questionnaire). Still, these aren't the only suggestions, and there's space to add any of your own.

I should've added this as a question ://

the way i see it:
