In Response To: Swiss triple elimination (Phil Simborg)

I would be quite happy if EVERY tourney main event (ie ABT here in US) was Swiss Elim. Triple elim is fine but to get this done in a typical weekend things would have to change. The event has to start on Fri night and a couple matches played then, and more of Sunday has to be used. This would greatly impact side events and unless the rake is raised for the Swiss, directors couldn't run this. We see why Swiss elim events are held over long weekends so the event can run 3 days.
