Best of three could work on a Saturday-Wednesday-Saturday format, but the NLL is ultimately a minor league, and that makes drawing fans a bit more challenging midweek or with games that close together.

Plus with players having job/school commitments, some of which are tough to get out of - mid-week games are simply not an option.
I think it has been a positive change. The one and done format allowed bad teams to get through. This gives the better teams more than once chance. Rochester took advantage - Edmonton did not.
