Shouldn't the semi-finalists of AT9 get automatically be qualified for AT10?

I don't think you understand what I was getting at. They said grandfathering the previous year's top four teams was no promise of good matches. I tried to point out (in the form of a sarcastic question) that names in a hat does not promise good matches. You then start on some fairness thing, which was never mentioned, followed by a statement agreeing with my original intentions- that the current system is in no way designed for good matches over allowing the already proven top four teams into the starting round.


Fairness was never mentioned by you, but has been by others. My point is that the 'current' system is really the common sense 'default' system: random drawing. Since going with the grandfathering approach didn't accomplish anything, it only makes sense to return to the default in the absence of a better idea (which has evidently not revealed itself). Otherwise one ends up just building on top of failed ideas and producing a complicated mess.
