22 games vs. 22 opponents or 11 opponents

Cribbage World recently posed the question about preference on this front, but did not state that one was fairer than the other.

Clearly playing against 22 different opponents is fairer, because the odds of getting a bad draw (matched up against top opponents) is lower. If there are 11 good players and 11 bad players, I have to play them all if it's one game vs. 1 opponent, but I could get all 11 good players if it's 2 games vs. one opponent.

I think all tournaments, for optimal "fairness", should be 22 games vs. 1 opponent, alternate deal. It also promotes socialization, and cribbage, is of course a social game.
