Spring 2009 1v1 Bracket

Spring 2009 1v1 Bracket is how the 2009 Game Contest bracket would have looked if it had been set up as a 128 game 1v1 instead of using 4-ways. By making use of sophisticated statistical technology and a little witchcraft, charmander was able to reconstruct the seeding structure that SB used to put the 2009 bracket together. Using those results we can determine which characters were the 1, 2, 3, etc seeds in each of the 8 divisions, which in turns makes this complete bracket reconstruction possible.
