LA?

In Response To: LA? (Bob Koca)

This rationale is always the glaring defect I see with double-eliminations.

I won the Charlotte tournament many years ago after losing my first match and then winning the rest and beating the undefeated player twice. (BTW, Jeb now runs single-elim).

Before we sat down for the two final matches, I was 7-1 and he was 5-0 (32 bracket). I win the first match. Now I am 8-1, he is 5-1 and I just beat HIM! And I still have to beat him again...

From that perspective, it does look screwy.
