there must be some mistake right ?

edit: got it but still isnt the format weird like how did prx ended up in upper bracket and drx played 2 more games to get there ??

it's a king of the hill format, bounty increases everytime an upset happens

You win more based on number of wins not based on actual high ranking

the more you win, the more you get
