I'm not convinced that all players in the third round, will have a passing aquaintance with solos themselves. There is probably just as many allinace players as ruthless go-getters, which will make the semis very exciting.
 
It's going to be a blood bath!

Whats so targety about it. It carries no advantage. And the opponents you
face in the Semi's should have more than a passing aquaintance with solos
themselves.

What will likely happen is that some players will all point and shout.
"Look, solo getter! Better kill him quick." And then they will stomp on
anyone who falls for the trick.
