Yes, I also spent a long time yesterday considering options 1 and 2. The large number of groups with 3 participants was concerning. That is, each player has a score of 1-1. There will almost certainly be replays, and we will all be waiting. And, as practice shows, in such groups, it is not always possible to get by with just one replay. And a final with 3 people, given the approximately equal level of the players, could take a long time. That's why I suggested option 3.
