It's not so much that there are 10 matches, but 10 matches in a field of 88 teams. So 2 strong teams, A & B, will face each other in qualifying with a 30/87 or only 34% probability. With three strong teams it's about 29% likely that none of them will face another in qualification matches.
There is a good chance of multiple no-loss teams vying for the #1 spot, so there might be a slight edge to teams with weaker minibots
