Single elimination might be much less of a headache, but double works just as
well if you're ready to administer the extra games.

Why are you mixing the movement systems? I would guess that you don't want a

use any design in the FB.

I wanted to avoid players maxing their fleet for 1 movement type. I'll take
the suggestion of any ships from FTFB.
