How does the ranking work? Like I won't my first round I'm ranked 3 going into this round so if I loose and then win the last round am I going to take 1st? Or idk how the rank system works.

The tie breaker is gp. So initially, all 8 are ranked by gp. After the first round, the four people with 1-0 records are ranked by gp, followed by the four people with 0-1 records by gp. So you have the 3rd highest gp of the four people who won round one. After this round, the two 2-0 records will be ranked 1-2 by gp. The four 1-1 teams will be ranked 3-6 by gp, and the two 0-2 players will be ranked 7-8 by gp. The winner of the 2-0 match will end in first place. 2-4 will be the 2-1 players by gp, etc...

So there will always be one person who finishes 3-0.

If you lose the first place match ? Yes but it doesn't matter because 2-4 all get the same rewards.

3-0 - 1st place prizes2-1 (3 players) - 2nd place prizes1-2 (3 players) - 3rd place prizes0-3 - 4th place prizesyou can see the breakdown in the event.

That style only works if the players earn those seeds. That wouldn’t be the case here.

They should go with traditional bracket tournament where each position is awarded accordingly:
*Initially by GP.
* 1 against 8, 2 vs 7, 3 vs 6, 4 vs 5.
* Winners meets in top half, loosers in bottom half etc. (see chart)

So if the 2 best players meet in round 1 the loser can only get 5th place at best? That style only works if the players earn those seeds. That wouldn’t be the case here.

I just won the event but I can verify that the GP rating doesn’t “work”. The best strategist should win also in the secondary places. My final opponent ended 4th and was way better than my other opponents. The 2nd place didn’t even put up a defence in round 2!

So?

Think of it this way, one person gets first place. Three people tie for second place. Three people tie for third place. One person gets last place. Finishing 2nd doesn't matter, it's exactly the same as finishing 4th.

If listing the middle six players by wins then by galactic power is that offensive to you, they could switch it to listing by wins and then by alphabetical order. It'd be the same thing.
