The results are what you wanted and you didn't asked the question based on what surf is actually offering which is not your question.. pretty clear you had a agenda and bias before you ask the question and framed it that way.
I been on record several time including this thread saying I prefer no more than 2 consecutive days of play plus a rest day. Liking the results has nothing to do with it.
My players have done and won surf and other tourneys in the various formats including a 6 gamer In days for Cerritos. No way would I recommend that format.
Our youngest son played 18 games in one month in April between HS, tournaments, and league games. His choice, had fun, he wouldn't trade it for anything.
Not everyone is scared to play a game a day for 4 days and surf summer is not going to be changed to a non competitive showcase for $2k with only 3 games. Rest day why not? $$
