Hello @poliac. I prefer the shorter version. It keeps everyone engaged till the end.
Are we going to start the next season on July 1? Perhaps for the vacation edition(s), we could introduce a small change - after the regular season, top 8 would single match play play-offs? First quarterfinals - 1st vs 8th, 2nd vs 7th etc. Then semifinals followed by the final game. All within few days, just enough to give time to publish results. Say, if we end on 19th, the quarterfinals could be played on the 22nd, semifinals on 26th and the final on the 30th.
