Quoted from ryanwanger:If everyone just gets one shot, we'll see more "lucky people" qualifying than we do now (based on the principle that if you had to play a match against, say, Bowen, you would stand a better chance to win a one game match rather than a best of seven). But your argument is that if people get many attempts, then we'll also see too many "lucky people".
What are you proposing exactly?
yup... golf analogy here...
if i'm better than someone, i want to play against them on a par 5 instead of a par 3, because they have more opportunities to screw up on the par 5, whereas i'm likely to make at least a par, with an occasional birdie mixed in and an occasional "aw f&^&" mixed in...
on the par 3, they only have to hit one lucky shot to beat me...
