This would be ok, but I think it could be improved by taking all three runners-up and the winner of the loser’s bracket and doing a 4-team knockout for the playoff spot. Taking only the top runner-up is bad, as comparing across different groups of different strengths always is. It depends so much on that last-place team, how terrible they are.
This was fun.
