If so many people just want a grading point and then they leave anyways,just run the Division 3 National Opens like a bracket race with no heads up.No ladder.Bye to the best reaction time.No multiple byes unless everyone left already had one.And also have buybacks.lol.
I think the second round pairing works. I know why the random pairing negates heads up because of the potential jockeying for advantage. I don’t see any reason to cut heads up for the remainder of the race. It is easy to keep track and pair from there.
