How about a different format at each event? I seem to remember this was how the Tour worked when it first started - progressing from a very 'open' format at Tour One through tighter peer pools as the Tour progressed. If we were to have three Tours next year we could have three different schedules. For example at Tour 1 we could have the top 16 in 4 evenly split pools, Tour 2 could be the traditional top 8 peer pools and Tour 3 could be the format we had for Tours 3 and 4 this year. All games should have some meaning, there's lots of variety so each tournament presents a different challenge and you don't have to keep playing the same teams.
My example still involves lots of games (I like playing alot), but if people feel we should have fewer games, then we can work with different formats. Just make sure that each Tour is different and I think that will get over most of the problems.
