We could always just do the old style PBM to if everything falls through.
When it occurs to a man that nature does not regard him as important and that she feels she would not maim the universe by disposing of him, he at first wishes to throw bricks at the temple, and he hates deeply the fact that there are no bricks and no temples

Definitely in, I use www.gameknot.com for my current games, IIRC you have to play at least 5 games before you could setup a tournament so maybe a different site will be better to set up the comp.
usually with correspondence chess you can set the limit for x amount of days, with gameknot each player plays 2 games against everyone else (1 white 1 black obvs) and the scores are totalled so it's more like a league than a cup style game.
If you wanted to use gameknot then I don't mind playing all comers and resigning after 4 moves or so to give people the 5 game minimum.

The problem with that is that it would take ages to finish the tournament. Think about it: I would say 3 or 4 days is probably the fastest you can finish a reasonably long game so it would take over a week for 3 games to be played out and if 32 players played, it would take probably at least 2 months at a conservative estimate
