A bye means you do not play an opponent that round, and you win the match.
From the Tournament Rules:
When a player is assigned a bye for a round, he or she is considered to have won the match 2-0.
Thus, that player earns 3 match points and 6 game points. A players byes are ignored when computing his or her opponents match-win and opponents game-win percentages.
Not trying to disagree or say that mafteechr is completely wrong but he is right on everything except in the tournament rules part... you do techincally win 2-0 but you only get 1 point for it
