It is understandable that some top tier players do not like the new best-of-3-in-50-min format. But TPCi probably tries to do what is best for the most players. And after playing in this format at regional yesterday, I really love it. If the old system had been in effect, I would have played 8 games and missed the cut. Under the new system I still missed the cut, but I got to play 16 complete games and had no ties (5-3-0). That made the tournament twice as enjoyable. Of my 8 matches, 6 matches were finished in 2 complete games, 1 match was finished in 3 complete games, and 1 match ended before game 2 was completed.
