Sure it's a gimmick, but I actually really like it. It's not an Olympic level tournament obviously, so why not have fun? We also get a best of 3 for the finals which I think is great since single-elimination championships are disappointing to me.

Yeah but wouldn't we all agree a best on best tournament regardless of age would be better?
Can't they make the young stars tournament another season? Maybe have that every 2 years and this every 4?
