GAC Matchup Discrepency
So this GAC I've gone 3-0, 1-2 (barely), 3-0, and I'm currently 0-2. This seems wrong to me? (as if the game is wildly overcompensating after each round of 3) So much so I'm now considering throwin...

This is largely a function of the points cutoffs for each league.
The first round is totally open in terms of player pool, and good players should have an easy time.
The second round splits the people who went 3-0 and 2-1 into one league and people who went 1-2 and 0-3 into another league, and as such is significantly more challenging for people who moved up.
The third round will see the player pool increase again, as players who went 6-0 all the way down to 2-4 will be in the same league. Hence the return of some pretty easy matchups.
The fourth round will be quite challenging as it will generally only pool players who went 9-0 through 7-2.
There are some edge cases due to feats and low-scoring defensive match-ups, but for the most part your described experience is pretty representative of what a typical player will experience.
