In Response To: How we will break 3-way ties at the London Open - a new approach (stw672)

1) Why is the first match longer than the 2nd match when the 2nd match is the one the decides who goes through? Better to make the first match a 3 pt match.

2) My deeply RO'ed MET using XG2 shows that player C can win from 4a2a 33.13% of the time which is 0.2% less than desired to be perfectly fair. This is honestly acceptable to me, but I'd drop the idea of allowing players to choose whether to be A,B, or C and just assign the lowest dice rolling player as C.

3) I'd prefer to see a RR of 3 pt matches and if tied, then RR of 1 pointers until someone goes through. All clocked of course.
