30BC - a better way of drawing the contestants?

I know I'm being wise 7 years after the fact, but I was just having a look at the Supreme Championship, in the days of a strict once-every-four-series CoC schedule, and "Group X" of the Supreme Championship was COC8; entrants in those four series went into that group, and the winner of COC8 went into the quarter finals.
I wonder if a similar thing could have been done for 30BC. Although the broadcast order wasn't "in groups", obviously a straight knockout is a straight knockout, so I wonder if contestants from Series 60-66 could have been put in a separate COC, and then the winner moving on? It would have allowed those contestants to have the title of a COC to their credit?
Let's say that that COC took up the first three weeks of 30BC, and thus left 5 weeks for the rest of it. Would this have changed the overall winner? Probably not, but may have changed the finalists.
