You Play To Win The Seed

AITOOW who would rather see teams play every other team once than replay teams while competing in a double elimination round robin? These pools like in the WBC or Olympics or World Cup make the luck of the draw too consequential. You would have to add games, but, each country could return home with their personal pyrhic victories and bragging rights over someone. Then the top two teams can battle it out for the crown. You would spread the money trail out over the course of the games (instead of being back ended) and see every possible combo of teams. For some countries the head to head against a nemisis is more important than the crown. You could do away with so many rest and travel days.
