I think it was the "Big Ass Little Ass" squad.

Cin and Quin would pose problems for a lone low-hp shooter, but they wouldn't have an answer for all the Bombs.
Jarael/Marn don't have enough dmg output, IMHO.
Elite Scouts are cool, but there's not enough of them to outlast the Cad/Bomb squad.
The Mando squad is cool, and could take it, if it is played well; however, the two Scouts won't be doing much in a low activation squad.
Furious Bane would cause trouble for the Bombs, but only if the Bomb player didn't hide his pieces well.
The Cad/Assaj squad is really cool, but again, only if the Bomb player doesn't hide his pieces.
Kyle/Marn/Jan is a solid contender, and is probably one of the top 2 or 3.

Those are my initial thoughts. Watch me be entirely wrong...but a ton of bombs in 100pts is just nasty.

By the way, TheHutts, thanks for posting this. I love these sorts of discussions, and the fact that we'll see actual results makes it even better. Of course none of these are particularly bad builds, so discrepancy in player skill could probably overcome almost any of the match-ups.

Yes, 12 bombs plus an MTB allows you to outactivate anything and then auto-win init, so Cad can take 8 shots in a row against something. And if the enemy has Soresu/Evade, then he's got the Bombs for auto-damage (with MTB as the fuse). It's a very nasty squad.

Kyle/R2/Jan does have the ability to nerf the bombs, which would be a problem. I guess if anyone in this tournament is going to beat this squad reliably, that would be the one.

Since there's no correct answer yet, I'll review my guess.

GAME A:
I said Quin Drallig in a close one. Switch it. Talon/Marn wins it.

GAME B:
I said Daala easily. Keep it.

GAME A-B:
I had said Quin Drallig over Daala in a close one. If Quin Drallig was already beaten in round 1, Daala should handle Talon easily. So put Daala into the finals.

GAME C:
I had said LittleBigPoggle pretty easily. Stick with that. I don't see Ventress living through a swarm of Poggle bombs, and the rest of the squad is evenly matched.

GAME D:
I had said Kyle over Furious Bane in a close one. Switch that.

GAME C-D:
I had said Kyle over LittleBigPoggle. LittleBigPoggle looks really strong in the absence of CE suppression, and I do think LittleBigPoggle looks stronger than Furious Bane, but since we already know LittleBigPoggle didn't win it, I might as well put Furious Bane through to the finals. Easy to see how Furious Bane could pull it off... just have to sneak through the front lines to Furious Assault a room full of Drones and it's pretty much over. Seems like a tall order, but we'll give it to them.

FINALS:
Daala vs Furious Bane. Bane dies in 2 hits from the Elite Scout Troopers. Aurra in 3. Elite Scouts have 50HP, so Aurra can kill an Elite Scout Trooper with Charging Fire+10, but if she's based she can't even kill the one that based her without taking an AoO. Cad can't kill one in one activation at all, but if the troopers are placed carelessly, he could damage a bunch of them at once. Cad/Aurra will hit more of their shots than the troopers, but not enough to make up for the fact that there are more than twice as many troopers coming at them. Daala wins this one pretty easily.

And if LittleBigPoggle had won, they would have a similar problem. Cad can't kill a Scout in one round, and he can only absorb 2 of their shots before being defeated. Activation control+init control lets Cad go last and then first so he can fly in and kill one and fly out, but if they are hidden well enough, he won't get far enough away to avoid the return Charging Fire from the other troops. With 6 Imperial shooters, There are enough troopers to pick off approaching Drones, so while a few might get through, the Seps won't get that much damage out of them. Daala's Elite Scouts would win this match-up, too.

WINNER: Daala / "Elite Scouts"

How did Cad/Assaj win 114-0? Did the Poggle player send Cad out too early and let him get him by both Cad and Assaj early? If he is lost early, I can see how this might end quickly at 114-0.

Can you post the results for the rest of Swiss?

Can you go into more detail about how Talon/Jarael/Marn won so convinsingly over Cin and Quintet? Did Quinlan not cloak/

I also forgot about Talon's disruptive which definitely has an impact.

I should probably go back and read the details in the rules forum but this has a pretty good example of these interactions so I am just going to ask it here.

First, Talon's CE's work only if his squad is all fringe (or has the independent outfit stuff). Assuming his CE's are active as is the case here, Quinlan should be able to Con Artist one of the CE's correct?

Second, if QV can Con Artist one of Talon's CE's does Talons Disruptive stop QV from being able to benefit from it if he is within the disruptive bubble?

That is incorrect. This is the way I have always looked at it. Disruptive doesn't do anything to the ce. It disrupts the enemy from granting or receiving any ce. Quinlan would be in disruptive and not get any ce because he is an enemy that is being disrupted.
This might help you see it my way. This is Con Artist Question in the rules forum.
