You guys don't need to thank me until you win
As for the Best of 3 thing, I too would have preferred single matches, but most people wanted at least a Best of 3 format, so this was the compromise I came up with. There are 31 matches total. Of those, 24 will be single tourneys, six will be Best of 3 (to determine who gets in the money) and one will be Best of 5 (the championship). I think that's reasonable.
