The game *does not* change like last year. You do not want to mutilate your opponent. you want to still ideally have one more point than them.
Why not mutilate them? If you win 100-0 and then again 100-0 you still win just like last year.

You don't want to get the max amount of points, like qualifying, you just want to get more points than your apponent.

Just like last year if you win both of the matches, you win. The only difference is that playoffs will be shortened because there is no option of a third match.

If you really go back and look at the number of playoff rounds that went 3 matches, I would say it's about 10%.

So for those other 90% of playoff matches, essentially everything is the same.
