I see now that it was an actual redraw and not just a bye and that the players who did not get the bye got compensated. Am I understanding correctly that you prefer format A to format B?
Format A: 24 players. Single elimination with first round having 8 players receive byes into 2nd round and needing 4 instead of 5 wins to win tournament. When 3 rounds have been completed (with the bottom half being advanced a round) POOF, There is one player in the finals and two others in round of 4. The player in the finals was helped by a bye and just gets all of that extra equity.
Format B: 24 players in 3 groups of 8. After 3 rounds we have 3 undefeated players. A redraw is done with one player getting a bye. POOF. At this point we have a player with 3 wins in the finals and 2 players with 3 wins in the round of 4. This is exactly like format A. But in format B those who did not get the bye can get compensated in a fair way.
