I was thinking it might cut down on the ladder games if 2 bye runs are not available.

Hi Allison,

Single elimination ladder structure has to be based on a 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, or 256 ladder. The only way you won't have byes is if the number of contestants is exactly the same as the first round ladder number. I'm very curious to see how it is possible to set up a ladder where no racer is ever eligible for 2 bye runs.
