top 16 of nationals should all be best of 5 sets

[_Rocky_]

All matches related to top 5 (winners semis & losers quarters) and up should ALWAYS be bo5
It doesn't even take THAT much more time considering that Melee tourneys almost always finish ahead of schedule (or at least before the venue closes)
Assume that an average match takes 4 minutes and the sets in winners semis, losers quarters and losers semis all go to the last game

Bo3:
WSF: 6x4 min (3+3x4)
LQF: 6x4 min
LSF: 3x4 min

Total 60 min

Bo5:
WSF: 10x4 min
LQF: 10x4 min
LSF: 5x4 min

Total 100 min

Ofc time spent counterpicking is also a matter, but when you consider that longer sets late in the bracket mean more hype matches and also give more room for adapting it shouldn't really be much of a problem unless you're running on a REALLY tight schedule

edit

We don't really do this

speak for yourselves

top 12 bo5 top 6 bo7 OR top 6 round robin bo5. I really like that idea. then bo7 for all the finals(as in lf wf gf)

this please

i would love to see this so much. i would say top 5 but whatever. it gets the top 5 placements more accurately AND gets us wayyyy moar vids.

Whenever there are both Melee and Brawl run at the same time, Melee should always be best of 5 with as many sets as possible seeing how Melee always finishes before Brawl. TOs should try to coordinate so that Melee and Brawl finishes at the same time by giving Melee more sets of best of 5. The only exception to this new idea is when the number of setups is an issue seeing how in California, Melee always has more setups than Melee at almost every tournament.

I'm pretty sure everyone thinks it's an excellent idea to do bo5 all sets and bo7 finals

EDIT: Top 6 round robin bo7 > bo5 imo
