I was skeptical at first, but I've come to like how you have to be prepared to play on all stages. It's pretty scary to think how a lot of people have been auto-banning the same stage for years (I'm looking at you, Falcon mains).
Best of 3 isn't required either. We could just do bo1s until at least half way through the bracket and still get the same payout placings. But that's lame because the people who fill the pot every week trying to improve should get as many games as possible. There's also no way it has any significant impact on the time it takes to run a tournament because I've been making Gentlemen Agreements to bo5 sets for like 6 tournaments now, and my pools/sets have always finished around the same time as everyone else's in the same round. Yeah, I realize that's just one set with a spacie as opposed to a Peach ditto bo5, but there's still no way it would take more than 10 minutes extra per round. WAY more time is lost waiting on matches to be played or reported than the actual time spent playing the matches.
