BCG 2011 SSFIV Double Elimination Knockout Format

The format that we would like to propose is similar to one to be used for MW2 Knockout which looks like this;

Winner of Group C vs 2nd of Group D  = Winner Match A
Winner of Group A vs 2nd of Group B = Winner Match B
Winner of Group B vs 2nd of Group A = Winner Match C
Winner of Group D vs 2nd of Group C  = Winner Match D

This is still subject to agreement from other officials, which we will confirm again on the spot later today. But for now this what you can expect later. 
The only possible difference should a disagreement arise would it to be A v C, B v D instead.

However it is double elimination meaning one needs to be knocked twice to be eliminated from the tournament entirely. For those unfamiliar with this format, do ask the officials if you wish to understand more and see how the bracket looks like.
