In Response To: Swiss vs random draw (Robert Wachtel)

In a well constructed progressive bracket, you will also be playing an opponent with the same record as you all along the way, so I'm thinking the differences between swiss and a ladder mostly come from not being guaranteed to win the tourney when you are the only one left without a loss, and I'm not sure who that helps more.
