Alex, a swiss draw creates a lot of randomness anyway.
Not allowing byes discourages players playing in the Glorney which devalues the tournament.
What is the point of spending £6000 on the Glorney if we are not taking it seriously ?
I am quite happy for our junior champion to win with byes in rounds 8 & 9 and then playing glorney rather than our junior champion play all 9 rounds and not play glorney. Is there a £6000 prize for junior champion ? No.
