EDIT: Disregard this post. Huge brain fart. If I could delete it, I would. Too much disappointment the past 24 hours.
I'm trying to figure out why the Consolation brackets are different. 125-157 all follow the same cross bracketing for quarterfinal losers, then 165 changes the pattern. I think this is a mistake. I know 16-man brackets fall in a different pattern than 32-man, and so on. but all these brackets are 32-man, and should all follow the same pattern. This affects match-ups and could really affect placings. I wonder if there is someone assigned to check these things and they would change the brackets during the break, and change planned match-ups while people are preparing for a specific opponent.
