Why have A 2nd place and A 3rd place face off against each other? That is just a block rematch. They could have done A 2nd place vs B 3rd place and B 2nd place vs A 3rd place. Obviously that still leaves potential for block rematches but they could have tried to minimize it at least. I don't know, this looks bad.
For example, what they can do with this is something like this:
>Tsuji beats Umino in the block stage
>Umino finishes 3rd, Tsuji finishes 2nd
>Umino beats Tsuji in the quarterfinals
That would be just shit. Key competitors could just trade wins and losses and losing key block matches is less punishing.
