Like everyone else that has commented here, the matchmaking in the tournement is broken. I understand matching against other players in the same bracket. But they should also be around the same squad pawer. In one match I made note of the MVP's clan so I could look them up afterwards. (Need a way to look up players by name, not just number) The MVP of the match had a squad of over 11,000. Meanwhile my squad was a little under 4000. Thier squad power was higher than my inventory power. (Maybe inventory power would be a good factor for matchmaking.)
Just being in the same bracket does not mean we are at equeal levels of power.
