That's because it was front loaded. There were two matches on the first day that could have been a final. I think Humphries was around -150 against Bunting and then beyond -400 against Pikachu and now Clayton. If Cross can't get through then he might not have another competitive match depending on how the other side shakes out. Given that this isn't the NFL where you can just do all kinds of dumb **** and still print money, it seems imperative that the draws / formats are kind of rigged not necessarily for fairness or process but for ratings.
