    I was recently registered in a Pokemon Showdown Swiss placement
    tournament where after 6 rounds the participants were ranked and the top 32
    moves to a Single Elimination Bracket.

    Looking at the use of Tie Break options (Wins Vs Tied Participants,
    followed by Median-Buchholz system, followed by Points Difference) I found
    that teams with a weaker Strength of Schedule, Buchholz value, or a mix of
    the two were placed above teams with Stronger opponents.

    Given the nature of the format, and how valuable Strength of Schedule is,
    and in limited sample sizes how important each match is to the overall
    value of a Participant's standings; if it would be possible to add a regular
    Buchholz option (all matches counted in point value) and possibly a
    Strength of Schedule option, this would vastly improve the accuracy of Tie Breaks.
