I'm starting to get curious then - surely Brands knew this.  It would seem counter-productive to do something like this intentionally.  So then why.

Well, unless he is playing 69-dimensional chess, the only other answer I can think of is negligence/incompetence. 2 years in a row now. Embarrassing 

 

Edit: if Bazooka has the same type of round 1 as he did at Cliff Keen then this might look genius

Or hoping for a rematch with Van Dee if he loses round 1?

Here is my theory as of now, especially since he also did it last year.  Brands disagrees with the rule, and believes he has a chance to make the committee look like fools for imposing it.  Eventually, Brands would like to be able to take advantage of mixing and matching and mixing signals on who is going where - because as a top five program they typically have the depth where they do have some decisions to make.  Maybe I've given him too much credit.  But if Teske upsets Bouzakis right off the scale, Brands can bank on having Tom Ryan and the boys from Columbus on his side for changing the rule

yeah probably an under the radar match because you don't think of hamiti as having a lot of momentum, and that might be true or it might be fan mentality.

Pretty similar “dominance” rankings.  Both don’t have a signature win, yet dominate who they are expected to.

Craig Henning got screwed in the 2007 NCAA Finals.
