it wouldn't take a total rebracketing. you need 10 matches to wrestle a 5 man round robin. in an 8 man bracket with 5 wrestlers there are spots for ten matches, using the byes and the fifth place match. it would mess up the numbers any more than a seeded wrestler who scratches, or doesn't make weight.

sports fan- you can't do for some and not for others.you are usually much more liberal on your posts, i like the "luck of the draw" thing too, but in todays society, it's not possible. it's called discrimination, you can't single out anyone and treat them differently. if a 5man rr is good for one, it has to be good for all.
