This may or may not be true.. but it is the format we have been given to work with.. and will be the format in the Playoffs..
having 5 matches worth 1 and 1 match worth 2 does devalue the ace match significantly - to win, a team needs to win at least an equal number of matches.. and the Ace match - which is inherently a tactical match to develop more strategy in matches..
In fact if 3 games went 2 - 0 to team A and the other 3 (inc Ace match) went 2 - 1 to team B, this would result in a 9 - 6 game lead for Team A and a win overall for Team B, 4 points to 3.
This is games though, not matches as you have pointed out.

Just wanted to point out that mathematically, Team A still has 150% the wins of Team B, the only difference now is that Team B wins rather than draws.
Of course that's all just theory and I will definitely be pleased to have the chance to play in whatever is decided and as always I sincerely appreciate the effort that goes in each week behind the scenes.
