if he on the other hand wouldnt have powered down then he would have had an easy first round...
so if you strictly match up the highest with the lowest, the 2nd highest with the 2nd lowest then there would be no exploiting possible. however, a KO tourney like this could be frustrating to the lowest players who wont make it past round 1 (i am not saying they should deserve more). the way how it is currently i dont mind seeing 300m players once in a while in round 4 or even 5. good for them and they got lucky. if 2 players meet up early, fine so be it and tough luck... it could have been someone else.
software would do it for them
