damn - did it really take me over an hour to write basically the same as you?

haha... here's a picture of the 1&1 finals format to illustrate your point about how the undefeated semi-finals is worth a ton more than the 2nd chance semis 

 

MAIN:  4 (106) -> 2 (188) -> 1(330)     

       |         |  

2ndCh: 2         1                             => 1 (1st: 294)  

       +         +                                |  

       4 (23) -> 3 (46)  -> 2 (91) -> 1 (110)     1 (2nd: 146)  

                            |  

                            1 (3rd: 72)



Using the 4:2:1 payout structure here makes winning in the later rounds of the 2ndCh worth less than winning earlier rounds, which seems undesirable. (tho not 'unfair')
