Oh I know what you are trying to say, but it wasn't that popular, but yeah less gimmicky. Compromise sucks IMO.From the poll Gluck did earlier this summer it was about half as favored as a full season championship, but three or four magnitudes more popular than the current elimination format. If TV refuses to budge on having some form of playoff, it would be a decent compromise - so long as they modify it to include a greater bonus for regular season performance at the reset.
