Re: [FVC]: Longer competitions

The randomness as well as the ranking point system bother me as well, and I am not sure it delivers the expected results. But that is another discussion.

Would it be an improvement if teams were sub-grouped into lots of four and then had to play three matches between themselves? Because everyone would be on the field, it might be much faster to run. You might even be able to repeat the regrouping three times (each team would then play nine matches).

Without giving this more than 20 seconds thought, I think this might reduce the effect of random partners causing such wild swings (more matches certainly would).
