The new format would be especially more interesting: - The participants will be divided into 2 groups - 5 rounds Swiss in each group - Top 4 from each group qualify (total 8 programs) - 2 rounds of quarter-final - 2 rounds of semi-final - 2 rounds of final Thus, it will be more exciting, and less of a lottery. One single loss will never prevent a program from winning the championship. All the programs that lose in earlier stages (don't end up in top 4, or lose later) continue competing for the other places. So all the programs will play exactly 11 rounds. >Same reasons as before, until >perhaps when I retire in another 10-15 years...
