Thanks for your pro hac  vice representation utee,  but I'm aligned with you on the preferred dbl elimination format.  The interim format stunk.  I neglected to accurately describe the old format that I preferred.

Again, 3 gamer isn't bad, I just prefer the true Dbl elimination.   I also don't like wild card format in MLB.

Gotcha Marq, we're all good.

As you might have deduced, I'm pretty bitter about that interim format...

Ah, I misunderstood the discussion and didn't check on the history. My post assumed the old system was one  double elimination bracket, rather than the current one which is two brackets followed by a best of three. Obviously this year I'd have loved a single game. But I have a longtime preference for low variance Championships, and a best of three is lower in variance than a best of one.

Agreed.  Not sure why MLB hasn't done that with the Wildcard game yet.  I have gotten on board with the idea of rewarding winning your division, with as unbalanced as the MLB schedule is now, but the current format seems to overly reward having one stud ace.
