Add "Cross-Over" option to double elimination brackets.
I noticed something fairly common in modern brackets missing from your bracket options. This is the concept of the "Cross-Over". The last 2 remaining teams in the winner's bracket do not play each other. Instead, they each play one of the 2 remaining teams in the loser's bracket. This keeps things symmetrical and avoids the "maybe" game if the winner of the losers bracket beats the undefeated team in the finals. Can we add a "Cross over" option to double-elimination tourneys?

Exactly what i need. FIVB calls it double elimination with championship semi-finals. This is nice, so that the two teams who haven't lost any games meet up in the final, instead of the semi-final. I guess it is just a double elimination going into a single elimination for the semi-finals and the final (and bronze match).
