So not for bribery risk reasons, but just for a general “reward the player on a tear with a ‘easier’ opponent instead of a ‘harder’ rematch”, makes sense from that perspective.
MonoGreen and PseudoBlue in the top 4? What is happening?

Pretty cool to see 
I almost had him last time, so we will see how this rematch goes.

Also folks, I am trying to get more careful about doing matchups, but feel free to call out errors in matchmaking if you see them!
I think Round 7 results might have been recorded incorrect in the spreadsheet.

DOH! I need to stop doing this so early in the morning! You’re right @bansa I gave Persephone the W against Zhav by mistake.
that means there will be a bye, I’ll fix!

Sorry to be difficult again but shouldn’t zhavier and I go first since we have the same number of losses?

I don’t know? You’ve all had a bye and played each other, none of you have a bye, pairing you two means one of you goes to 5 games on P2 with only 3 on P1, this pairing has the possibility of an elimination…
I’m open to input from @zhavier and @EricF but the “how pairings work” algo doesn’t make this situation unambiguously clear to me

If the number of players is odd, a bye (which counts as a win) will be assigned to the player who:
- Has had the fewest byes in the tournament (normally zero)
- Has played against all other players, or so many of the other players that a bye is needed to avoid a re-match elsewhere in the tournament (probably won’t happen)
- Has the most losses
This gives EricF the bye.

You know… I should have just kept my mouth shut cause I didn’t mind the bye at all

OKAY I apologize for prematurely posting with incorrect participants (again!!!), here comes the ACTUAL ACTUAL pairing. @EricF has been given the bye (as he has the most losses and all other assignment criteria are equal), and Bansa & Zhav get a flipped runback! GL HF to both of you.

And @zhavier is now on double match point! Congrats on third place @EricF, our finals are now set! @bansa must win two straight to emerge victorious and seeing as Zhav has had more games on P1, bansa will lead off this game.
GL HF to both players!

Looking forward to it
I’m honestly looking at these and going “wow, I literally voted for everything but Normal, these are cool”.
