I am opposed to them by instinct. However, I see no rational reason why I should be.
Anyone got anything?

If players are tied in a tournament, one is chosen at random?

Exactly.

This. Even if someone drops out, I would not randomly select someone to advance. In a bracket tourney, I would advance the last player to lose to the player who dropped out. In other events where it's not as simple, I'd still want to either advance the highest-placed non-advancing player, or play out a tiebreaker. I'd never advance someone on a random "pick", as I see nothing fair about that.

What is it that makes it unfair though. I realize that some have said it is unfair but I don't understand why.
If 2 players or teams have the exact same performance, then they should each have an equal chance at being eliminated.
