You're all so smart – it's ridiculous! If you want, organize and run your own tournament – show everyone how it should be done!
There's no argument here. Thanks to Tanya and Pete for the tournament! But in my opinion, it would be better to play double elimination, best-of-3, because sometimes the initial matchup has a significant impact, and playing 3 games provides a more accurate determination of the strongest player.
P.S. I'm writing this not because I think I was unfairly eliminated.
