Brackets ought to be determined by the pool results. Currently the top of the arbitrarily determined Group X is slotted against the second place finisher of Group Y, and vice versa, while Group A's top will be slotted against Group B's second. Instead, what should happen is that the overall best gladiator out of all the pools should face the lowest scoring qualifier from the pools. This would 1) potentially allow more than two glads from a pool to make it in, and 2) avoid the potentially two highest ranked glads battling in only the second round of the direct eliminations (e.g., if the highest scoring glad was in Group X, and the second highest scorer was from Group Y, if they won both their first matches in the bracket, they'd then face off in the next round, even though, theoretically, they SHOULD have been matched up in the championship bout as the two best glads).
