It's weird, but I'll explain.
@GIMR: Total matches won for you was 7. Total matches loss was 5. Now, ideally, since you placed 9th, you want to walk away with less losses overall under your belt. Meaning, you can get match wins all you want, but you can't be giving away matches to lesser opponents. Because of seeding error, you didn't necessarily get lesser opponents (Juno, Oath, Neo, Candy, Takeover.) So that explains why your W:L Matches is lower. Please remember this is only off of one tourney, so of course it has some errors.
Furthermore, when you look at W:L Sets, you see that you're even with me and NKB, right? Well, even though we placed lower than you, we played the same amount of sets. This is because this ratio is meant to account for byes and sudden upsets during tourney. Speed, HAT and NEO, while all placing 9th place, had actually played one set more than you. This is because the following three were sent into Loser's earlier, either due to upset or seeding error, meaning they had to play more opponents during tourney. In fact, for that matter, Tantalus ended up playing more sets (4 sets won, 2 sets lost) than you did (3 sets won, 2 sets lost) despite placing lower overall.
Now here is something interesting. If you consider your win against Neo an upset, something seeding could not predict, and therefore consider what would of happened had you lost... well look at the bracket. You would have played me, probably won, played TheTantalus, perhaps win, and then play Logic. If you get to that point, you still place 9th. However, Neo would have probably placed higher overall, meaning the tourney results would be more accurate. (Even this isn't the case, however, because then Neo v Candy would have happened... far before winner's finals. Another seeding error that can't be seen until 3-4 matches down.) But, upsets do happen, and seeding can't account for it.
Let's examine TheTantalus. Looking over all his sets, he never gave up a loss during his won sets, and managed to take a game off Takeover during his elimination. In other words, he was close to obtaining the ideal record you want out of a tournament: All wins 2-0, all losses 1-2. In fact, going off of that, NEO was able to obtain this. What it means is that the disparity of skill between your lost matches wasn't much, while the disparity of skill between your won matches was. Now, given Tant's opponents (Aposl, Takeover, Nate14, Seagull, Sin), you could see how he could come out of this tournament with an overall better record than you.
Now, if TIO would have known that you should have a higher seed than Tant, then imagine the outcome that way: you'd be having Tantalus's opponents, while he'd be having yours. Remember, the results are meant to reflect seeding errors as well.
You can download the data at the bottom of the OP to analyze all player's results. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. It is confusing at first, and even wrong in some areas, but that's only because ONE tournament results thread was used. Upsets and seeding errors explain the outliers. Once 4-5 results threads are incorporated, then we'll start seeing a good list.
@Tant: Phil told me he didn't want to be recorded in the results because he didn't mean to enter this tourney to compete. It's not his name.... right? xD
But ****, I got Tiger's name mixed up. I'll fix it in a bit.
