Dividing participants into pairs introduces a significant element of subjectivity, in my opinion, because it doesn't account for the difference between the winner and the loser. For example:
1st pair: 3rd place/20th place
2nd pair: 18th place/15th place
Based on points, it will be 1-1. And would you say that the teams are equal?..
Switch the players, and it will be 2:0 with the same results.
I think it would be better to use the average of the sum of each team's results...
