After that game FC dropped into the loser bracket. How can you argue that coming back into the winners bracket means you were in the winners bracket longer??
Can you tell me who involved in this is related to each other so I can understand your Nepotism angle?
It doesn't state "longer" it says advanced furthest. If you look at the bracket as a map. 1st game being the starting point. Championship game being the ending point. Who was in the winners bracket at the furthest point of the tournament?
We all know what it is meant to say. But.... that's not what it says.

Yes, by virtue of having beaten FC-Y in the winners bracket. If another team had knocked FC-Y into the losers bracket, FC-Y would have gotten the berth based on head-to-head competition.

I get it now...... So lets recap...
The win loss rule only apply to winners bracket wins..... No and that didn't come into play. OCBB's win over FC-Y in the winners bracket meant the teams split the head-to-head (first tiebreaker), so it went to the next one - furthest in the winners bracket.
The term Advanced the furthest in the winners bracket actually means "The team that went undefeated the longest in bracket play" not who was on top when the tournament was called? Yes!
Brackets are only for the games up to the championship game. After which they are no longer brackets? Winners and losers brackets - yes!
If both teams in the final have suffered a loss they are both in the losers bracket fighting to be the Losers Champion? And here you go off the tracks again trying to continue winners and losers brackets into the championship games...
The winner of the 1st championship game is actually still the loser if they came from the losers bracket. If they win the 2nd championship "If" game then they become the Losers Champion since they can never re-enter the winners bracket?
And if all else fails its "Because I said so" YES! Me, the quote from Wikipedia and everyone else that understands double elimination brackets...
