So I saw these NC playoff brackets and they're terrible. Hentai picked some stupid thing where matches are completely random and rounds won and lost are not even considered for the structure of the bracket. Hentai picked something like "#1 team in group 1 plays #2 team in group 8, #1 team in group 2 plays #2 team in group 7" etc.

For a single elimination tournament this format is garbage.
