Who says you're getting a first round bye?  Even though the odds are with you only the random draw knows for sure.

Awarding byes in tournaments is often done in accordance with seeding. Seeding prevents the best players from meeting in the early rounds of a tournament and reduces the risk of spoiling the event if top players should meet and eliminate each other early. Byes are therefore normally given to highest seeds first, or to the best players, for three reasons. Firstly they are most likely to progress anyway and will probably get to play several matches before being eliminated, secondly there is then less disparity in ability in the first round resulting in closer more enjoyable matches for more players, and thirdly more of the weaker players may get more than one match. Since this is the second tournament, it should be possible to rank (seed) players based on their performance in previous events, and award the byes accordingly.

Just a thought.

Strip, he posted how ....see the BOLD underlined part below

Awarding byes in tournaments is often done in accordance with seeding. Seeding prevents the best players from meeting in the early rounds of a tournament and reduces the risk of spoiling the event if top players should meet and eliminate each other early. Byes are therefore normally given to highest seeds first, or to the best players, for three reasons.

although there is only one event like this ( BaldEagl's 1st Tourny ) to go by..... it still could be possible to "seed" , as Badboy described..and it would only get easier to do it this way the more events/Tournament like this that BaldEagl host for the community.......

either way I don't really care........ either it will be a limited slots event or it will end up being the never ending rounds of matches to the 1/4 or semi finals......regardless if it ends up being 3 rds, 4 rds, 5 rds, 6 rds, etc........ plus just remember the more you add the more chances you take on people not being dedicated to show for their matchup........ creating more problems, for those who are really serious about this event.....

Oops.  Not sure how I missed you but you're added.  That's why I post the roster occasionally.
