This freaking Women's bracket!

The post-elimination round bracket for the Women's Gold Coast Pro is killing me!

I originally had:

A. Caity Simmers x2

B. Erin Brooks

B. Tyler Wright

C. Stephanie Gilmore

I was very happy with these picks, and the value they represent. However, the bracket has Caity and Steph facing off immediately, and all 4 competitors on the same side of the bracket.

After agonizing over significant mental gymnastics, I'm going with the seemingly smarter and safer route. Changing my A-Tier to Molly Picklum x2, and moving my C-Tier to Vahine Fierro. Besides giving me a very balanced bracket, I'd like to take advantage of standout opening round performances. Chasing opening round performances is usually an enticing and risky proposition I try to stay away from, but paired with the bracket upgrade I can't help myself.

A. Molly Picklum x2

B. Erin Brooks

B. Tyler Wright

C. Vahine Fierro

Hopefully this doesn't kill my team!

Rooting for a more favorable men's situation!
