Here’s my idea which is simple and should be fairer than the new system.
Taking the list in ratings order. Take rank 1 and randomly match them against the next 3 available ranks. So 1 will always matchup with 2, 3 or 4. For matchup 2, take the highest available rank and match them randomly with the next three available ranks.
Rinse and repeat.
For example:
Match 1: 1 v (2, 3 or 4) = 1 v 3 v 4
Match 2: 2 v (5, 6 or 7) = 2 v 5 v 7
Match 3: 6 v (8, 9 or 10) = 6 v 9 v 10
Match 4: 8 v (11, 12 or 13) = 8 v 11 v 12
Match 5: 13 v (14, 15 or 16) = 13 v 14 v 15
Match 6: 16 v (17, 18 or 19) = 16 v 17 v 19
And so on….
The biggest difference in opponents in this system would be 5 ranks, so 8 v 10 v 20 can’t happen (yes I am on GH!). Match 1 will always be strong with only the top server of tier 2 involved. All matchups are likely to be varied with only the bottom tier having two set teams, which keeps it competitive for them.
Well that’s my idea, no system is going to keep everyone happy but this would ensure matches are more competitive in my opinion.
