In the most recent episode, Fro suggested that going undefeated should give some advantage like a bye in the top cut. This bewilders me a little, as I'm sure Fro already knows that players are placed in the cut based on their ranking in the swiss. This means the top players are paired against the weakest players and if there are going to be byes they get assigned in rank order to the top players, surely this is enough of an advantage?

From personal experience being placed against people that are lower in the cut can be an advantage, but also a disadvantage. I was undefeated in the swiss of an EC with Dragon and the cut was 4*Crane, 1* Unicorn, 2*Dragon, 1* Scorpion. All MUs except the Unicorn one would have been either favourable or even. I was paired against Unicorn and he beat me.

I'm unclear as to the point you're trying to make- do you think people should be able to pick their opponents in the Swiss? You having a bad matchup one time doesn't seem to mean anything in the context of what you are quoting.

My point is that Fro's suggestion of a bye for undefeated players makes sense, because the seating is often more a curse than a reward. Me having had a bad matchup after being undefeated in swiss was anecdotal evidence. I am not sure how this can be seen as having nothing to do with the context of rewards for being undefeated in swiss.

So you're saying the top qualifying player being paired against bottom qualifying player is, over 50% of the time, a bad thing for the top qualifying player.
