You cannot make up points for potential falls. You do get advancement points if you win your next match. Byes are to be randomly drawn in theory every one has the same chance but only after the seeds are placed. If you seed down to 8 9 they won't be in the draw. The byes are to be as even as possible among half and quarter brackets. Any wrestler no seeded among the top 8 will be drawn so not have a bye. Sometimes I question the randomness of the computer because it seems one's and two's get more byes than random but that is just my opinion
