Why and how does he get to decide if he can take the bye or not? I don't remember that being discussed.
If the top seed can pick his opponent, he should be able to pick something other than "no opponent", just makes common sense to me to allow it. Not necessarily to *use* it, but Biatch has never been grounded by common sense.
