With those two teams separated, it's wider open, making it harder (but that is a relative term) for either to win. By that token, they'll fight harder. Makes it tougher on all the other teams.

In Waterloo, the way to win is to be above them in seeding, or to be better than one of them to the other one, who is hopefully higher in the standings. Not so terribly difficult, now, is it?
