Yeah, but polo tournaments are currently elimination tournaments on the second day, so in other words to be good at polo, you have to do well in elimination. Would anyone be interested in seeing (or playing in) a polo tournament in which round-robin or swiss determined the eventual winners and the rankings?
I'm not saying the maths is irrelevant, but surviving an elimination tournament is (currently) a key skill. What you do on the first day is important, but it's what you do on the second day that really counts.
