thanks man, I always forget to account for the delays when I'm deciding how early I want to get up to watch matches. I probably would have gotten up at the ass-crack of dawn for no reason if I didn't see your post.

At majors, there are 16 teams, not 8 so this format would take forever to be played out. Lel
