The exact tournament parameters will depend on the actual number of participants; an 80-player tournament would definitely use a "standard" McMahon approach, with a top group and one McMahon starting group per rank level, and pairing players against opponents with the same MMS whenever possible. In a much smaller tournament, on the other hand, the group sizes would need to be very carefully adjusted depending on the actual rank distribution of the participants, so there would be a lot more manual tweaking to make the tournament as enjoyable as possible to all the players.
A handicap system based on the players' current McMahon scores will very likely be applied, but the actual format of that (MMS difference minus 1 or MMS difference minus 2) is best decided when we have a better idea of the actual rank distribution of the players. This is because we don't want to do handicaps in the championship deciding games, so the top group's actual size will play a role in this decision.
