It would had there been a bigger pool of fighters but four out of six makes the round-robin stage little more than a brilliant bit of fun: You may be right however, it may help the one American fighter who is going to scrape through into the semis
Ko's are only 1 extra point not two. They are not important at all. As the top 4 qualify if you win two fights its mathematically impossible not to qualify.

If you lose two fights, it would be mathematically impossible to qualify I believe even with a ko.

So the ko points are just meaningless ultimately in terms of making it to the semi's.
