I think it's a positive sign that we're getting
any reform in playoff systems at all. Double elim has
its downsides, mostly in the form of long runtime and
rematches, but RR plus double elim worked just fine out
here.
And anything is better than the system R4 used last
year, which (see my previous posting on the subject)
still ranks as one of the Most Dumbass Things I Have
Ever Seen In My Entire Life.
