A car without gas is still thousands of pounds of steel and plastic but a human without water goes from being over a hundred pounds to most likely being a clump of around 20 or 30 pounds

Right? Where in the world is the “sweet” in there? Like, “omg my former team immediately won a championship after kicking me out. I’m so happy for them I’m gonna cry!”

Bittersweet would more be your team wins the championship, And THEN you get cut.

You'd just be bitter if you got cut and then your team won the championship. No sweetness at all

Bittersweet is a conflict of emotions in the same person, obviously. Everything has an upside to someone, somewhere... that's not what's relevant.

Neither one of those is "bittersweet" tbh. The second one seems to have a silver lining because you could rationalize that you were potentially second best (though bracket-style elimination doesn't really determine who's best in the first place; the whole thing's very flawed).

"Bittersweet" involves an actual upside that wouldn't be realized otherwise. I.e. The loser being able to go home to his sister's wedding. "Whelp, maybe we're 2nd?" is not bittersweet it's just an optimistic take.
