I was going to start an argument, but I won't bother. This is basically a system that favours someone who gets lucky and finishes a game quickly, even though they lose the other two. It doesn't even come into play often enough to be justified. And yes, I was aware of the system before joining, I just didn't think it would have such an effect that I would be prevented from getting to a mini-tournament final even though I won my set 2-1.
Apart from that I am enjoying the tournament, and I'm very glad the map and settings I use ensure nearly all games finish after a similar amount of rounds. Since I've won all my home sets 3-0 it's not been a problem, however I did just lose a game so I only won 2-1, but thanks to the settings they all finished within a round or two of each other.
