From the Tournament Doc:Each player’s
order of finish in the preliminary rounds determines his or her
seeding in the elimination brackets: the player who qualifies
with the most prestige in the preliminary rounds will play
against the player who qualified with the least prestige in the
preliminary rounds, the player with the second most prestige
will play against the player with the second least prestige, and
so on. Ties are broken by strength of schedule first (totalling up
the prestige of each player’s opponents) and then by a player’s
total match points accrued during the tournament.
In any given match, you'd get:
6: You won both games (and have exactly 20 game points)
5: You won one game, didn't finish the second and won the match (11-16 game points)
4: You won one game and lose the other, but won the match because your Agenda scored when you lost was more than your opponent's on their loss (11-16 game points)
3: You outright tied your opponent (same Agenda scores when you each lost): 10-16 game points
2: You won one of your games and lost the other one and had fewer Agenda then your opponent on their loss (10-15 game points)
1: You lost one game and didn't finish the other and had less Agenda in the unfinished game (0-11 game points)
0: You lost both games (0-12 game points)
So PRESTIGE points first determine your moving forward, then STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE, which is how well your opponents did overall. Of course, you'd rather gain the 2 Prestige Points by beating your opponent than rely on a strength of schedule (which is really how well they did against all OTHER opponents) tie break.
The third tiebreak is total Game Points achieved, which as you can see above is pretty variable. At no time do your opponent's GAME POINTS matter though, so a win against 0 is just as strong as a win against 6.
