The bye language does not apply. It's a 32-man bracket with one pigtail. No byes.

Same with wrestle-backs.

What points can one get from a pigtail win? I assume just bonus with no advancement points?

No, pigtails are just like any other match. 1 point in winners bracket and 0.5 points in the consys.

That extra slot really isn't necessary imo, but if they insist on having 33, pigtails really shouldn't count for team scoring.
