Which means the loser in the semi to artem faces one of the kids who lost in the quarters in the bottom half of the bracket, correct?cruiser_96;1386852 wrote:bump and run: The cross-bracketing occurs as the quarterfinal losers drop.
Not trying to argue any points here, just trying to understand the rules of the brackets!!
In other words, the relevant matches are...
First round in top half of main bracket: two non-seeded kids get beat up on by artem and our valiant no. 4 (assume he goes here). The losing wrestlers move to the top half of the consolation bracket.
Quarters in bottom half of main bracket: two kids who advanced from R1 by win or by bye, lose their quarters matches (notice I didn't say "match" which would imply this is a tag-team affair). These kids are cross-bracketed to the TOP half of the consolation bracket.
Conso round No. 2: the kids who lost their quarters matches in the bottom half of the main bracket win against the two non-seeded kids who got beat up on by artem and our valiant no. 4.
Conso round No. 3: the kids who lost their quarters matches in the bottom half of the main bracket wrestle.
Semis: valiant no. 4 gets teched by artem
Conso round No. 4: valiant no. 4 seed faces the battle-hardened winner of the conso round no. 3 for the right to wrestle for third and fourth.
