Pretty much the title says it all. Looking for help on how to accomplish this. Since we only have one table (thankful for that btw), I know having tournaments will help grow the game in our area and introduce more people to the game. Thank you all for your assistance in this matter.

One way is to have it set up as multiple round robins of 4 players. The 4 play their 6 matches in an afternoon or evening. The winners of the round robins (1 or 2 from each) come together for a round robin if you have 4 finalists or single elimination if you have more. (RR matches: A-B, C-D, A-C, B-D, A-D, B-C)
The other is to have a challenge ladder so the players schedule their own matches.
If you have mostly new players, make the matches short, like to 10. That's good for the round robin where sometimes players have to wait for two matches.
Professor Q-Ball (Paul Frankel) has a skill shot format (set shots, so many points for each good shot) that is geared towards new players.
