I can understand why you'd want to split it over several weeks. Maybe you could do it every other month, so the Champion(s) get to hold their titles for a month between each tournament, and you don't get burned out trying to organize such big events every week (keeping with the one-event-per-week idea).
If you had enough people to help then it might be possible to do it once a month over the course of a single week, but it'd still be a pretty big undertaking. It would make for an amazing event, but it would be incredibly intensive for the organizers.

Having the Martial Duels and Magic Duels allow Martial or Magical fighters in the opposite duels SOMEWHAT defeats the purpose. But mages need to be able to try for the Grand Champion title. My current running idea is to have the Mage and Martial duels be interchangeable for the title, since both champions can't win the final two events. That way, there'd be a Grand Champion and a Martial/Magical champion. Granted, there won't always be a Grand Champion each tournament. It's meant to be a rare title obtained.
I think tweaking the rules so that only one of those events is needed to win the Grand Champion would probably be best. Unless you want to simply condense it into one event and open it up to combatants facing off against either type of opponent. I have never run a combat style event before so I don't know for sure, but that might be tricky to do and keep fair at the same time.
I'd say the easiest option would for the Grand Champion to require a win in only their own specific discipline (martial or magical).
