I like this more because it gives the lower seeded leaders to choose a better equipped alliance. This certainly makes the elimination rounds more interesting to watch; from quarters to finals.

It will be sad this year we probably won't be able to look forward to the finals where the alliances complete with the regional's top teams fight for the championship. We can only dream of seeing our favourites that may have been eliminated earlier play with other awesome teams. Last year, I remember biting my nails off watching the videos of the championship finals.
