Screamers Tournament objectives

Having won the tournament yesterday 1st time, I'm left needing to complete a plethora of objectives around playing games and scoring in games. So basically, I play to the final and deliberately lose in order to keep playing the game mode. What happens when I encounter someone in the same position in the final? Whoever doesn't get the kickoff will be forced to win the tournament and be locked out from completing the objectives. This is pretty stupid. Why can't I just win the tournament and secure all objectives by doing so? Would save a bunch of time too; I work full time, and although I'm addicted to this game, completing 20-25 games every couple of days is a second job.
