Give TD's an option for how byes effect the final standings of a knockout tournament
Add an option to award zero wins to a person with a bye in a 3 strikes tournament? I am of the personal belief that a bye should not count as a win, and go through the results after the fact and adjust for ties before submitting to the IFPA or a 3 strikes league results page.
If one player goes 0-3, and another player goes 0-3 with a bye (so they are eliminated in round 4).
Another option would be to give the TD a tiebreaking option. TD could have the option to award a half win for a bye (rewarding player for lasting longer in the tournament) as well as if they have played against eachother an odd number of times, or if they have played against eachother an even number of times, whomever won the last match owns the tie breaker? Numerous options here I believe
Thanks

@Brian I do see that option. Unfortunatley I just tested it out and it ranks a bye as a loss now, which still doesnt solve my problem.
Ran a test tournament and a player with only 2 losses to humans, was eliminated after a bye (bye counting as a loss)
Just need to find a middle ground haha

I'm setting up a 3 strike tourney right now and the last configuration option is labeled "Value of byes." The choices are full win, half win, and loss. Maybe it's only available to Premium users, but I'm pretty sure this option has been there since the beginning.
