Tbh I kinda like the round robin.
Every alliance has to play eachother, so it will likely bring more strategic depth to play. I would have loved to see more of this year's Einstein alliances play each other. The two (four) deepest and best alliances will likely be duking it out on (both
) Saturday(s).
Also, not only will we have a better idea of when the day will be over, the afternoon will also be shorter than Einstein has been in the past. We all know that's a blessing.
