I didn't think it through but the 24 (12x2) teams tournament makes it impossible having all the matches on one pitch in two days. So we may see more two pitches divide, in Cape Town this week, and then in Los Angeles. 

Despite most of the tournaments being held on three days they still got rid of the "plate" semis. Five matches is now the norm if you don't reach the semis. A bit unfair as a best 3rd can finish in the top 4, in 7th or 8th, but not in 5th or 6th ...

This must also change the QF table, as with the old system (used in Dubaï) the order was (1A/2nd best 3rd - 2B/2C - 1B/best 3rd - 1C/2A). Now it should be best 1st/2nd best 3rd, 2nd best 1st/best 3rd ...
