Special round

I have just read this :

"This is a special round, because there are three bots and two progress to the finals. All bots play against each other once. The bot that loses both of his matches is out of the tournament, the other two go to the finals. It's possible that all three bots win exactly once. So then the bot that used the most rounds to win his games is out of the tournament."

May I suggest that the 3 bots run against each other twice instead of once, so as to be able to play as first player and second player against each of the 2 other bots ? It would make the result more consistent. My 2 cents.
