I think that method is referring to the Pentad/Septad match, not the Swiss draw. A Swiss Draw can have any 8 characters and there are no teams, but there must be 8 people to start. |

On a side note, there is another thread going that mentioned this is currently bugged. For some reason it reverts back to a Single Match.
In short, I don't think you did anything wrong. It's just not working right now.
I've heard the method was for Swiss match from this old thread:

But I dunno... kept defaulting back to "Single Match" whenever settings get moved around or a certain amount of time goes by, or when we even hit the start button.
We even tried it with 8 people, no teams
I'll try to look into that bugged report that you mentioned.

And that bugged Swiss draw thread is only a couple posts below this one. I'm surprised you didn't see it:
Swiss Draw impossible to start? Bugged?
Hi,
I have a question surrounding this badge as I hosted an event for some people on the Champion server tonight to get this along with getting the rest of the collection for Arena All-Star.
Now, this could be a tech/bug issue or a problem blamed on my ignorance, but between the 8-10 of us who showed, we could not get a Swiss Draw match underway.
It seemed the old, easy way to do this was to invite the same AT to a swiss draw teamed match and then begin. However, and perhaps with the i17 patch, this is no longer the case. Furthermore, about all of us were looking into possible combinations on how to start one in the terminal with nothing seeming to work.
So, is there a known issue at the moment or is there something extra that we needed to try?
