I'm okay with losers' bracket but don't like round robin groups, since it creates the quite likely chance that players will be playing matches that don't matter to them either because they're already in or already out.

So maybe this is the best they can do. Edit: For any who forget what round robin groups can lead to, we always have: | ||

Sounds like Snute's some sort of problem when you said "red flag". Which he might turn out to be, against his Korean opponents. | ||
