If all of your other bracket opponents do this against each other and you only manage to win barely win all games, you will be behind in points.
Or is my math wrong?

No, because that would give you a D which is worth only 1 total point where as the W would get you 3 total points. You may have a smaller Point Differential but that is secondary to total points.

Yes thinking it over I think you and the people saying this are right. The longer a game takes in general, the more hard-fought/closer of a match is must have been. I was just worried that this would lead to a gigantic turtle-fest, but the extra upside is that there will be even smaller chances of a complete tie.

I will try to find a way to use this as opposed to base health...

Group Play Rules
A match is a pair of games, with each player starting as First Player once on his or her choice of map.

Would you consider randomly assigning maps to the Group stages as well like you did for the knockout stages? That's probably fairest and the best way to minimize maps with FTA.

The problem I see with random maps in group play is the non-uniformity. This would actually make FTA a bigger problem (what if you get assigned the largest FTA map as P2 and the smallest FTA maps as P1?)

The fair way to do it with be that the map is the same for each group, but I don't really like the idea of playing 6 games on the same map at the same time.

master/290/2435

290 points and 2435 wins?

or 2435 points and 290 wins? Either way that seems crazy... ?

Okay, I have changed the rules of Group Play to use # of turns taken to determine points as opposed to remaining base health. Please read the new rules. And of course, suggestions and criticisms will be very helpful and much appreciated!
