i know
game 8 is a bit unfair but it has to be there. if you have everyone just go to the finals the would complain that they did not get to use there second life, making the whole system unfair rather than just
game 8. also
game 8 is also not all a sacrificing game. whoever gets 1st and 4th is crucial. 1st gets an advantage for the final while 4th has to play another game and win if he/she wants to be in the finals. also
game 9 is basically the dark horse game. you have the players who lost the first round but then rallied back to get to the semifinals.
as for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th positioning, that is decided by who is eliminated first. i am using this for 2 very good reasons. 1: the first round will be the most uneven, but after everyone gets to there place in round 2 we will have some darn even matches, and at the same time giving everyone of every rank a chance to win. 2: it helps the pace of the tournament. for exp, say
game 1 & 2 each have only 2 players left. the people who are already out can just advance to the next game (game 5) instead of waiting for the entire game to finish.
