The reason we went with this format is it gives the kids more mat time, which at the end of the day that is what it is all about...
The scramble format does gives you a true 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th place. Just because one kid got 1st in his/her pool does not mean they are better than the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th place kid in the other pool.
