That doesn't leave too much space for barely-known garbage, and most of it can be placed in decent R1 spots.
So we get a lot of well known garbage instead. Everything from Sega will be weak. Most handhelds will be weak. Over half of the bracket will be crap one way or the other. There aren't more than 10 systems that would actually be worth seeing in contest matches.
You're also assuming that such a bracket would actually give you those things.
And that those matches will actually be entertaining.
Both of which I very much doubt. The Series Contest had its fill of "debatable" matches, too, because we didn't know what to expect from it. The matches themselves were still dull as could be and not very fun.
Honestly, I can't imagine a Systems Contest not being filled with a bunch of boring blowouts like the Series Contest and the Rivalry Rumble, other than maybe a few "interesting" matches.
(360 kills the DS and the Genesis, by the way. It's not even close)
