Winter World Cup WINNER - poweewee (Philippines)

[harvarnold]

Am I correct in that if someone loses in the winner's bracket they are out of the tourney? Wouldn't that mean if you wanted to get 3rd you would be best off in the loser bracket, since the competitors aren't nearly as good? for example, I would rather be placed in the consolation bracket, since I don't think I have any chance of lasting in the winner's bracket against a bunch of super titans, and at least in the loser's bracket I would have a shot at third. Maybe a double elimination format would be better, so there is no reason to want to be in the bottom bracket?
