Double E

[TheConArtist]

Otaye i have a question, the person who makes it to the hot seat is the one who didn't lose a match and are waiting for their oppenent right. But what i don't get is when the finals are time to play and the undefeated player all week loses the one who lost and came up in the losers bracket wins, what the hell why do they lose and don't get the chance for a rubber match. Just to think how many times Allison or Karen would have won if it wasn't for this cause they would get that second chance that everyone else got. What are your thoughts. Cole.

I agree that anything short of true double elimination isn't fair. Not only does the undefeated player not have the same option of losing one match and remaining in the tournament, but the term hot seat is not a very fair description. I have seen many players in the "hot seat" go cold while their opponent continues to stay warmed up playing through the one loss side. When they both get to the table, which one is more ready to play???
Good point, and one I have questioned on more than one occasion.
