So as far as I guess "traditional" tournament paintball goes, what does traditional by time/8 prelims mean exactly? Let's say you have 20 teams. Everyone plays each other? Then winners move on to the bracket? Or something

This answer is just based on me watching some tournament ball lately not knowing for 100% sure
So the prelims , I don't know how they set up the bracket but I know each team doesn't play a ton of games, let's say 6.
Your team goes 4-2 in those games, but within each game you score points and at the end of those 6 games your team is 35-24 on points, so you are +9 on the point differential
Because there will be other teams that are also 4-2, they are then put in order by the point differential within the teams that are 4-2.
Let's say the finals are 12 teams, take anyone that is 6-0, 5-1 and then if you only need 2 teams left you take the two teams that are 4-2 with the highest point differential

yea pretty much this^
when i ran our "streetball pump league", the old school tourney guys schooled me on how it should be done:
-2 pts per elimination
-3 pts per surviving players
-30 pts for flag pull (only once per game)
-50 pts for flag hang
5 minute rounds
This style encourages flag pulls and prioritizes the flag over "team deathmatch (boring)" play.
it also allows the underdogs to upset the better teams by knocking them down the chain points wise
also, i had everything mapped out so that every team played eachother at least once for the first "round/bracket". we only did 1 game for each matchup, to keep things moving
then the teams that lost were free to watch/play on the next field over AND if they had enough points and it made sense (possibility of still "placing" after), teams could "buy" back in with 75 pointsComment
