the loser bracket switched upside down with every size change (8, 16, 32, 64). With this change the loser bracket always looks the same no matter the size of the bracket.
This only becomes a problem if double elimination for semifinals is skipped (if you loose in the SF the first time you play directly for 3rd place, no coming back). This is a nice future that leads to a leaner double elimination bracket which switches to single elimination for the final four, giving the same value (and generally more importance) to all semi finals.
