    Was anyone else surprised Bryant was picked last? I figured like he said one of the first two seeds would have picked him up quick. Does Bryant have a shot in this, is that why he was last of the non-seeds?

    What happens if there is a draw in one of the fights? Like say, one of the finals ends in a draw or even one of the first round matchups? Do they do it again 3 months later?

    I tweeted WBSS but haven't got a response, I would just like to know. Are both fighters out and next round is a bye for the other bracket, do they have to fight again 3 months later, have they even thought about the possibility? Just curious.

    I tweeted the WBSS too lol. My guess is that they would not delay the tournament, perhaps the higher seed gets through, or they flip a coin, or they get a new panel of judges to score the fight.
