"while fighters bracket players would have to go 11-1 in all cases, only needing one more win than the zero loss bracket player"

Does it matter when they entered the fighter's bracket?

"This method is much, much more fair than the normal way of bracketing a full double elimination tournament"

Is it the winner of the fighter's bracket that you feel this is unfair to? If you want to have the undefeated bracket winner have 50% equity to win the tournament you could just have a single game between that player and the fighter's bracket winner and save a round.

"Problems-- ABT points. If you win a tournament with the above format with an undefeated record, you will get fewer ABT points than if you win with one loss. With an undefeated player, there is a tie for the 2/3 spot"

Say first is N, 2nd is N/2 and third is N/4. If there is a tie for 2nd/3rd they should just split and get 3N/8.
