It's nice to have some input on the tourney, the current tourney should be completed soon and discussion should begin for the next.
I do have to point out several items in your plan which I consider to be flaws...In the first round of this tourney the 8 best out of 16 are selected. The 4 best from those 8 are then selected, but then the play some of the players from the first round again...it seems to me almost a foregone conclusion that they will win, especially since in your model they get to defend.
Single game elimination is not good imo and neither is randomized choosing of attacker and defender because defending is too big of an advantage, just look at all the matches in the current tourney that were won 2-1 in best out of three, in single round elimination the loser of the matches might have won.
