More info on potential finals format:
Players are placed into four-player groups using a seeding method. The first and second finishers advance in the bracket, while third and fourth place are eliminated. Once final four have been determined, the final match will determine placement order.
Time permitting, we will have "Double Byes" in an eight player bracket: Double bye for seeds 1-2; Single bye for seeds 3-4.
