The good and the bad and the only fix needed

8) The system pairs continuing players randomly. Number of wins and number of losses do not play a role in this decision.

This is very good, IMHO and I prefer it to the typical more Swiss method that is overly concerned with matching players with equal records.

"When giving byes the system gives precedence to players with less losses"

This is very bad, IMHO and I CLEARLY prefer that byes be given to players with the most losses since they are considerably less likely to win or even place in the event as they'll often soon end up with too many losses in a couple of rounds.

All that needs to be fixed, IMHO is this "When giving byes the system gives precedence to players with less losses". If you give a bye to someone with the least losses you're giving a bye to someone who may be the eventual winner and clearly increasing his chances to win, much more than giving a bye to someone who is almost knocked out anyhow.

Fix the issue with byes and I'd be happy to play under this system for EVERY possible BG tournament.
