imo bo3s should start earlier they started ro8 this past year right? perhaps start them at ro16, not sure how that would go time wise i know MC does them earlier.

I like this as a point of discussion.

With Bo1 until Ro8, then Bo3 onwards with a Bo3/5 finals we often found players wanted to do a Bo3 finals because the tournament would finish quite late.

To facilitate Bo3 from Ro16 onwards I feel like we would need to start it an hour earlier.. but then the question is would an earlier start time affect availability and is it wanted overall.

In 2012 weeklies ran for ~3hrs with a 64- player pool so I would assert starting Bo3 a round earlier would take it up to ~4 hours.
