DO YOU SEE WHERE I AM GOING WITH THIS NOW? after 6 rounds the top 4 have played each other 3 times, and the top 4 hasnt even changed though a few of them lost!(presumably to other t4 because think about it) on top of that, after r6 there are no more players sharing the same score as those in the top4, 3rd and 4th have 4 wins, and everyone else has 3 or less. So the top 4 are going to get paired DOWN? after facing the top 4 for 3 rounds??????
it just doesnt make sense man.
