Please allow for a non-median Bucholz system for tiebreakers.
Please allow for a standard (non-median) Bucholz system for tiebreakers, as the median-Bulchoz system can lead to awkward results in small tournaments with a smaller number of rounds.

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. -
