The bump is so massive that no single division should account for that skill gap, especially on a 16-man scale.

But it's not like we didn't know going in that certain D5ers were pretty obvious D6 material. A bump at this point would be stupid, but placements could be handled better next year. Like not grouping a guy with a Love & Justice blackflag (no, it's not a "a certain kind of score" unless you mean an unambiguously D6 one) with people whose highest AAA is a 69.

It's kind of stupid to talk about at this point though. Just give ca25nada or DarkZtar the win and place better next time.
My highest AAA before tourney started was a 72, and all my FGO scores are trash, haha. I'm honestly surprising myself this tournament since prior to it I've pretty much played FFR solely has a casual hobby and came into the tourney with the goal of making top 16 =P.


Unrelated note: Gonna keep pushing myself and try for the Crow's Ghost AAA ~=P
