I do think that the current suggested format seems to be the latter? Can someone comfirm? Anyway I do think the 5 matches are all played out is better because

Firstly, it encourages more participation!

Secondly, we can have a higher variation of scores like 5:0 and 4:1 and 3:2 and if somehow the ultimate format determines that each win/loss has a score/points tied along with it, there'll be a better variation of scores to distinguish between each team!

There is a slight problem with this format. It is TIME-CONSUMING. If only 1 match is going at any one time, a 5 X Bo3 will take as long as 5 hours if it goes to all 3 sets in every game. Once i had a CW with this format and it took 4.5 hours to finish the entire CW. For people living in NZ, the games normally starts at 12am for them and it also means it ends 4.30am for them which may not be so good.
