dont jump to the conclusion that winning all your matches is the only important thing

the worse case seneario with that approach would be if half the teams won all their matches, and half the teams lost all their matches

with 50 teams at a regional, that would put 25 teams in the top tier, who would then be ranked by the losing scores.

even if you average it out, then roughtly 10 teams in a regional will win all their matches - that still doenst put you in the top 8.

and if you lose once for any reason (beyond your control) then you might fall to the bottom of the second tier, 20th place!

I agree that the playoffs will be more aggressive - winning is everything there - points are not as important -but even then, if you trash the field and win your first round, but something goes wrong and you loose the second big time - then you are in a shaky position for the 3rd match.
