Re: Tournament Structure Ideas...
By and large, I like the idea as you have it here. And I agree, the tournament this year was like we're playing Oregon Trail with the pace kicked up to grueling. (Let's see if the kiddies get THAT reference!)
But suppose FIRST kept 3v3, but increased match time to 3:00. Doing so would decrease the number of matches, as you'd have two matches for every six minutes of match time, as opposed to the current three-ish. You also eliminate that extra field reset, introduction, etc., which would ideally mean more time with the field in action, which keeps the audience primed.
Thoughts?
