But Raz - what tournament mode will this be? Will my team automatically go to end of season or redraft after the game?

It'll be a MINOR. Your team will use the default result for your team when your team finishes the tournament. (I.e., if they have fifteen or more games, they will go to end-of-season/redraft and if they have fewer... they can continue to play in their current season.

Sorry in advance if complete reading failure on my part, but: is it possible to enter with a team in end-of-season state that has played fewer than 15 games in the season?

Yes, it is possible to enter a team in end-of-season state if they've played fewer than 15 games in the season.
BUT, because this will be a minor tournament, it is not necessary to put the team in end-of-season before applying the tournament.
It is also possible to apply a team which has exactly fifteen games which is in end-of-season.

Great, thanks for the clarification. :)

Double elimination sounds cool. But how does it work really?

For you SideshowBob- it grants your usual opportunity to get knocked out first match. Plus then to AGAIN get knocked out in your second match ; )

Yeah - @SideshowBob - As folks get eliminated from the initial tournament, they get fed into a second lower bracket tournament. You can see a previous Minor in the double elim format here: https://fumbbl.com/p/group?op=view&at=1&group=4881&p=tournaments&show=51612

@beanbelly - well I still will play twice as many games as in a knockout tournament so sign me up for this!
