News to me, but let's get an Idea how this will work then, with people constantly dropping into the loser's bracket;

the way I see it, by round;
1. 16 in winners bracket, zero in losers.
2. 8 in W, 8 in L
3. 4 in W, 8 in L(4 from w), 4 out
4. 2 in W, 6 in L(2 from w), 4 more out, 8 total
5. 1 in W, 4 in L(1 from w), 3 more out, 11 total
6. 1 still in W, 2 in L, 2 more out, 13 total
7. 1 in W, 1 in L, 1 more out, 14 total.


So someone could win in 2,3,4,5,6,7, giving him 6 wins, but near as I can tell, if he wins 7, he wins the title, as the 7th win is the 2nd win vs winner's bracket winner.

Am I missing something here? I mean, besides testoterone?

The way Irie described it to me, I get the idea that for every round after round 1, there will need to be 2 rounds in the loser's bracket.

After round one, there will be 8 and 8. Then, round 2 happens, the 4 losers of the losers bracket are gone and 4 more come in from the winner's bracket. They play and 4 drop out. Now there are 4 and 4...and the cycle continues all the way down. If someone loses their first game, it will look like this:

1. Round of 16 (L)
2. Round of 8 loser's (W)
3. Round of 8 loser's (W)
4. Round of 4 loser's (W)
5. Round of 4 loser's (W)
6. Round of 2 loser's (W)
7. Loser's bracket final (W)
8. Championship game 1 (W)
9. Championship final (L)

For a record of 7-2

I could be wrong about how this is going to work tho.
