Multi Table Tournament Decision

I just finished table reshuffling and the prize structure. It works well for GPokr but I've bumped into an interesting decision with kdice. In gpokr, tables can be reshuffled easily because hands are relatively short. In kdice reshuffling requires you to wait until other players are done. So there are three choices here:

1) You play the same people until a table in the tournament can be removed. At this point your table gets broken up and spread over the other tables. In this scenario you need to wait for your table to finish for the next game and when there's a reshuffle you need wait for another table to finish.

2) Games are synchronized. You don't start the next game until all games have finished. At that point tables are reshuffled at random. The benefit here is random players every round but longer waits.

3) Start new games as people are knocked out of current games. This is the quickest way to start new games but it creates a strange effect of winners playing winners and losers playing losers - or in other words big points on one table and none on another.

Thoughts?
