Sorry for the late response guys, my Internet went down yesterday. But I'm back for now and hopefully it doesn't happen again. Anyway, here's my responses.
Spoink: Read what I replied to Pablo's quote since you two said similar things.
I'm assuming that you didn't read the centered and italicized caption under the playoffs, Loser's Bracket, and/or Loser's Bracket Playoffs? That explains how it will be ran. Anyone left with a 3-0 record will get a bye if/when it comes down to the time of it being un-even. As for why I'm doing the loser's bracket into the playoffs, it's so everyone gets to keep battling and having fun and has another shot at getting the listed prizes. Like Spike said before I even started the tourny "I didn't see something like that, with such a high value as a prize for a simple wifi tourny". Not exact words, I know but just restating what he said for smart allics who may reply to this or quote it with complaints -_-. Not to mention, I wasn't expecting it to come out with 8 people to begin with, so I announced the Loser's Bracket leading into the playoffs before it was determined and felt I should have kept my word. Hope that this explains most of what you needed/wanted to know.
I thought about this as well. I decided to do it the way I have it as three rounds because if two people capable of going deep into the playoffs pair up against each other in the Loser's Bracket (and they were paired up against some of the top players and had bad games in the first 3 rounds which is why they were in the playoffs in the first place) they get knocked out and let someone that is worse then them originally pass by in place of them. That's why I have it the way it is. In other words, so the more skillful player advances in the tournament and not the luckier player. Get it?

There shouldn't even BE a losers bracket and we wouldnt have this issue! we would have a clear top 8 and just go from there, but there is a losers bracket, and thus we get 12, and after single elim we get 6, then 3, so the question is, do you award byes for Top 8, Top 4 or Top 2? makes the most sense to award them for Top 8. Hw todecide them I just thoght the higher ranked players would be fair, its ok for you guy to disagree butthen PROPOSE something. Getting rid of the Losers bracket and just moving on from the play offs solves this, but obviously no one wants that.
And trust me, I don't want special treatment, I want to battle as much as possible, I'm jut giving my view on te LOGICAL and FAIR thing to do. If you guys have any beter idea to move on from 12 to 6 to 3 to 2 then be my guests.

Why not just do knock out random pairings that will decide one winner.
