METHODOLOGY: Players are ranked 1-10 based on 9W Ranking, Pro Point and subjectivity. The top five players are matched up with the bottom five players based on a random draw. Winners will be matched up randomly in round two based on random draw that has already been performed. Losers will be the same. In round three, matching win totals are matched up as best as possible and random draws are used if needed. The results after three rounds are used to seed the eight-player playoff.
