That’s not the case, brackets do dictate rewards. In Guild Wars - Sneak Peek Wrap Up opening post Sirrian specified that “You won’t be able to finish any higher than the TOP of your bracket, and any lower than the BOTTOM. So in the example above, Sparkle Ponies won’t be able to finish higher than 21st, or lower than 30th.”. So if you are in the top bracket, you are guaranteed 10th place rewards at worst. And if you’re in second bracket, you have no chance at better than 11th place.
