Yeah, I'm not in favor of cutting down the time either. Playoffs are what it's all about and if they're done in three days the will feel even more meaningless.

Rather find a way to keep people engaged. What I am missing big time is aome kind of portal or something where you can see the results and maybe the tree with one click. Maybe even a headline that is about the playoffs. Right now, you have to click through multiple threads etc. to find results and people who aren't in the playoffs won't do that.

Just find a way to make the playoffs more exciting for everyone. So better coverage, maybe more TPE tasks related to the playoffs etc. Make the playoffs MORE meaningful not less.
