In College Game at Worlds, Qualification rounds don’t count
(except for seed #).
Every team plays in a single elimination bracket finals.
For this style of tournament, I propose rescheduling the last 3/8ths of the matches after the first 4/8ths have been played, to match teams with similar ranks that have not yet played each other.
I predict that this will lead to fewer gross mismatches in late rounds, as well as fewer undefeated teams. It may change the seeding, but since everyone makes it to the finals single elmination bracket anyway,
Any comments on pros/cons of this change?
Anyone want to simulate it to see if it makes the final seeds worse than the randomness effect of schedule that we have now?
