Point well made. But I think 3v3 works just fine, but there needs to be less teams at nationals (i don't like saying that). As Joe J stated, have more matches would alleviate your situation. 7 matches is just not quite enough, 8-10 would be better. That would also alleviate the scouting problem for some of us small teams that have only 3-5 students scouting. Less teams seems to alleviate a lot of problems, but may raise the fees unfortunately.
