Ever what would happen if fortunes were reversed in BotSj and the lowest scoring participant had the most wins? Well wonder no more. A few ground rules to make it interesting:
- In a single block format, the lowest points earner wins.
- In a two block format, the lowest points from the block opposite the winner will get the win instead.
- In the result of the quarter/semi final KO rounds, the worst and second worst performers of each block will be the new A1/A2 and B1/B2, who will then be pitted against one another with the IRL wins and losses of each bracket flipped.
- Injuries, forfeits and withdrawals will be ignored.
