Hahah in that case, it looks like we'll need another poll.
Usual ladder format, 2on2, or FFA.
EDIT: Oh, and if ladder: kung Pact I/II-format, or Pact III or Pact IV.
-------------------------
But as far as FFA goes, in my opinion, getting around being focus-fired should be part of your overall strategy. Tactics in an FFA tournament will be different from a 1on1 format. Besides, since it's FFA, it's unlikely that all 3 end up focusing on just one guy. Or maybe that'll happen because that one guy poses the greatest threat. It all depends. Maybe you can even make some hush-hush alliances outside of the tournament to increase your chances of advancing.
The meta-game (yuck) will be different. Let's say one of the combatants is a GOMAP tank. You may be able to more easily chip away at that guy's armor. But that might set you back in the later stage of the match because you've used up most of your ammo. Or you can design some gay speedy AC that'll just run and hide the whole match until 2 of the opponents are down and only 1 limp guy is left. It might take you to the finals, but such an AC might not be fit for the 1-on-1 format in the final round.
I think it'll be fun.

EDIT 2:
Mark, how do we go about lessening restrictions while still banning imba stuff? Pretty much all our restrictions are in place simply to ban the imba stuff. We've even allowed several loopholes. Any specific ideas?
