Because having 24 episodes doesn't make it even to work in a single elimination tournament without altering it.
There would need to be 16 or 32 episodes for that to work properly, because 24 is right in the middle, I can split the top 8 episodes apart from the rest to make a proper tournament format with 24. If you did best vs. worst from the start, you would end with 3 episodes. Finding a way to reduce it from 24 to 16 can get a final with 2. While I still want every episode a part of the tournament.
Does that make sense because that's about as well as I can explain it.
