What are the reasons for having first to 5 at all?
At Swiss Round stages, wouldn't timed games make the seeding more accurate rather than less? A team who loses 5-0 in their first game is theoretically less shit than someone who loses 10-0 but in first-to-5 they'd both be 'the same'. Or am I misunderstanding?
I generally enjoy timed games more, even at throw-ins. There seems to be less fucking around...
