Maybe. Hard to say how much worse 60 is than 48 but we’ve already seen wild upsets this year with the lowest seeded teams.

Ehh should functionally be about the same. 4 points to ensure you advance. Winning with 6 gives you a more advantageous knockout game 1.
I’m not really a fan but there are worse things that could ruin footy

I lived 14 miles from my office and my commute would often be about 45 minutes in the morning if I planned to get in just a bit after 9, commute home was easily 90 minutes most days. Sometimes I’d stay till 7:30-8 and be lucky to get home in an hour. And that’s all in DC suburbs. Don’t ask me how bad the commute was when I was saving up money living at home 45 miles away.

The only reason I can think of that would point to precision/requirements for detailed calculations would be interception/avoiding interception. Even then.. I can’t really imagine you need that much computing power.
