It worked horribly for the reason that you mention. There was a ton of collusion because no one wanted to be stuck unable to ally with the top teams.
Even worse than this was the Auto pairing where 1/5, 2/6, 3/7 and 4/8 (2001)were automtically paired together.

So do you not think that peer GP pressure would work to alleviate this problem? You would think it would be plainly obvious if collusion was happening - oh, we went 5-7-0 but then all of a sudden start scoring huge in elims - it could even be reviewed and issued a DQ / Red Card if deemed collusion
Or, what if the point values for qual matches were increased so that losing qual matches was something that in the long run needed to be avoided at all costs for you to progress past the district event?
I wasnt around in the early 2000s so I didn't know it used to be that way, very interesting.
