    Am I being an unreasonable cheapskate douche?

    Perfectly reasonable (even a little generous at 20/80). Typically the agent will have to show you around to a bunch of houses and do legwork. I like the idea of going straight to the lawyer. Just whatever you do get it in writing. They could really try to pull something over you with all the...

    What's the fewest number of games it would take to name one champion out of six teams?

    But why not have each team play each other, multiple times? In interest of time, i would say round 1 with three games. then round 2 with three games (each possible combination of the previous winners), and a final championship match. 7 games.
