The players with the most losses will tend to be the players who have had the worst luck so far in the tournament. Why not give the bye to the player whose net luck (after getting the bye) will be closest to zero?

Interesting thought. If BG were pure luck then this would be true. If BG were pure skill then this would not be true. So where is the crossover point? Yes, I'm rehashing the old question which is impossible to answer without making assumptions. But, Tom, you've done some simulations in the past where you have made some reasonable assumptions to reach a conclusion. Is that code (easily :) modifiable to at least see which side of the dividing line we are on?
