Can you give examples of such disciplines? Specifically, where there is a group stage. And why exactly in all of them? In chess, they use the Buchholz system, and in football, they consider the difference between goals scored and conceded, which is again a coefficient, not a head-to-head record.
In football, almost everywhere, head-to-head records are now prioritized over the goal difference. The same applies to handball, basketball, water polo, and so on. Regarding chess, I agree – if that's our benchmark, then there are no questions. In principle, it's logical. Heroes are closer to chess than to football ;)
