I think there's a problem — in the Americas and Asia, nearly half of the teams only have 7 weeks of games, but in Europe, two-thirds of the teams only have 11 weeks of games.
This should affect the world rankings.
Sorry, I just realized that in your proposal,
if the schedules for the Americas and Asia are also adjusted so that the ratios and number of games are roughly the same,
then the problem of the world ranking being underestimated that I mentioned before shouldn’t exist.

As an option, all continents separately could play the same number of games using the Swiss system, followed by playoffs. This way, every team would have the same number of matches in the qualifying round plus the playoffs. There would be more interesting games between teams of similar strength. I’m not insisting on my first proposal — it’s just that right now, there are too many games that don’t matter and too many friendlies for those who didn’t advance to the second round.

I understand that this isn’t a problem for the larger communities, but it would be nice to have more competition and more interesting matches.
