and how come Sydney had the traditional DE bracket?

Swiss bracket is decent for qualifiers and everyone gets to play a ton type things like the regional qualifiers. For serious competitions I think everyone would agree it has far too much going against it to make it legitimate.

Sydney was different format as it was actually City Hunters comp and ACL is just using their rankings as their ACL qualifier, similar to how ACL did last time with Adelaide.

Problem with Swiss bracket is that it needs too many rounds to actually level out properly. With the 6 rounds we did play, there were still quite a few ties and players that seemed like they were in the wrong positions.
