The knockout results are now up at http://challonge.com/bff2011knockout
I didn't catch the scores for the final, 3rd place, and first semi, so I made them 1-0.
If anyone knows the correct scores I'll fix that.
A few useful lessons learnt from that, from an organising/scheduling point of view.
1) Byes are shit. There just is no fair way to deal with them in Swiss. So in the future we really need to make sure we have an even number of teams.
2) Draws are a bit shit. It does seriously disadvantage a team in Swiss, to the point where it might be better to lose, to get an easier game in the next round. Maybe we should consider getting rid of them in Swiss.
3) A full Swiss, and then a single elim seems to work well. Yes some higher seeded teams got knocked out of the knockout early, but in the end the usual teams got the final anyway.
