It sounds like a tiny change, but the effect on strategy is bigger than it looks. Take a team like Brooklyn, which has very strong men’s singles players. Under the current format, after two rotations, 32 points have been played. Under the new 2/2/4/4 format, only 28 points would have been played by that point. That means in a close DreamBreaker, when the first player steps back up in the third rotation, the score could be tied 14-14 instead of 16-16.
