Yeah; I know record is the primary decider. You are correct; I was looking to see when records are the same, how the matchups are created.

For example, in this current GAC bracket (I'm again, the smallest account). Round 1, I got matched against the 3rd largest account (which I won). 2nd round, I got matched against the 2nd largest account (and lost). Final round, I'm matched against the largest account in the bracket.

And match-ups like this seem to happen nearly every single time. So I'm just curious how these match-ups are determined, since in all 3 battles, there were more than 2 people with those records, so I would just like to know what the deciding factors are.

I'm under the impression that players with the same records are randomly paired up each round. I can't think of a reason for it to not be random, or at least GP irrelevant.
