OK, this question (request) is mostly about THIS TOURNAMENT - where this rule comes into play:

"It can happen that only two players are at the last round. In this case the 3-wins match will be arranged, otherwise the tournament result would depend on one game only which is not fair."

Well my problem is that the first round was set up with the "two games for each two players" rule.

My probable is that it is a Line 4 game where White normally has the advantage in the game. My first game with the higher ranked player is with the color black. Which means if we play a 3-wins match, I'll be stuck with black twice - which is a big disadvantage for me to start the game with (it will be hard enough for me to win as white against the other player!) (NOTE: That is if a 3-win match changes colors each game - if not, I'll be stuck with Black all 3 games!)

Anyway, since you can now set up tournament with the "two games for each two players" rule - maybe you should switch it where it is not a 3-game match at the end of those types of games. Possible set it up with either a "two games (switched colors) for each two players" game, or something like that.

I would rather the tournament end in a tie then to have a player have to start with a disadvantage (which really takes the fun out of the games!)
