Hey UDK,
For round two what are your plans for round 2? Not that I want to skip a match, but i think it only fair the people who got a 'bye' this round and advanced should be paired with other 'bye'rs and award those who completed their 1st round with a 'bye'. Just so its kinda fair, i'd be kinda p-o'd if someone advanced 2 rounds without a single battle and I had to work 2 rounds.
No offense, but that's a horrible idea. It's not because I don't want other people to have byes, but the way that you're describing it your plan will throw the brackets into a state of pure chaos and disorder. In order to have a organized tournament, the number of players needs to be 64->32->16->8->4->2->1. If we were to do what you did, it would be like 64->32->26-ish->13->7.5... Yeah, it won't work.
Byes are a part of tournaments, and what happens happens. If you didn't get one, well that's just too bad. No "compensation" is needed. I'm not being conceited, I'm just being logical. There will no longer be byes from here on outwards, considering we've eliminated any no-shows.
