The reason is it will bias the results because some teams will have a lot more matches than others. I need to come up with a better explanation when I have time.

The better reason is that alliances can be "stacked" in eliminations... i.e. seed 1 picks seed 2, whereas in qualifying it's all random; one pairing could really help a team and the next could hurt them.
And for my question: What is the mathematical formula for CCWM?
