  > Well, the entire genre is built around the concept of competitive elimination. But bracket-style voting prevents the drama of upsets where a candidate most people think is good-but-not-best gets eliminated while a candidate widely seen as poor but with a dedicated fan base who would easily get clobbered in a bracket (or sensibly aggregated ranked preference) system gets spared by the perversity of an inverse first-past-the-post system. Which drama is no doubt why inverse FPTP is so dominant in the genre, where audience voting is involved. > Do it with access to healthcare and you sure turn the intensity up on elimination. Oh, sure, I'm not arguing against that, just that brackets in particular would be a surprising choice.
