The last 6 winners of this event have all been king of the hill.

That is irrelevant.

How many went to down to the wire?

At no time, should the guy in the winner's bracket be "forced" to play a single-match final. If they chose to do so and lose, then they have nobody to blame.

Didn't Jayson Shaw run a "pack" and knock somebody out when he was way behind yesterday? Why should the guy in the winner's bracket be subject to such a "come back" when maybe he is on the hill in a single elimination format in the final? If the guy does the same thing in the second match, then you were meant to lose.
