The crossover format seems a little strange to me. The 1 seeds have a
harder schedule by average opponent's seed than the 2 seeds, and the 4
seeds have a more difficult schedule than the 5 seeds.
Average opponent seed (pool play + crossovers, easiest schedule to
hardest):
GOAT: 10.3
Furious: 10
Boston: 9.6
Sockeye: 9.5
Bravo: 9.5
Chain: 9.5
Jam: 8.2
Truck: 8
Revolver: 7.8
PoNY: 6.5
Rhino: 6.5
Condors: 6.5
Ring: 6.3
Sub Zero: 6
Doublewide: 5.7
So GOAT's average opponent is nearly 5 seeds lower than Doublewide's
average opponent. That seems like a lot; I wonder how it compares to
other tournament formats?
