Travel costs, building availability and questions about the ability to sell out back to back games in the same barn - all reasons why they didn't go to a true best of 3

The league has to manage its growth carefully. The playoff format changes have provided huge excitement and the fans have for the most part loved it. Is it perfect - no - but a league like this is all about taking steps forward.
If they could have they would have gone best of 3 - it isn't an option for where the league is right now.
