Cross country sprint heat selection gives me some serious StarCraft nostalgia. In big leagues they usually got players to select their own groups (basically you had one seeded player per group, they each picked one player to be in their group, then these players picked one player, and so on until all groups were full). They always made a big show of it with trashtalking and whatnot. Some leagues had elaborate entrances for the players too.

 

Kind of wild seeing a "real" sport come up with a similar group selection format.

You have the same system in motor-cycle speedway, but with glamorous track babes rather than red buttons.

Second 1/2 seems much easier on paper.

As it often is. They want to get first semi to get more time to recover before the final even if the chance to get to the final is easier in the second
