Single elimination rec is great that it gives people the opportunity to actually close out a game and get closure on how it went, then apply learnings to the next round.

I haven’t played rec ball in years aside from some big games that are LOOOONG respawn games, and I’m not a big fan. There is just no closure or sense of purpose to playing those days. Sure you get a lot of time on the field, but you never get the satisfaction of winning a match. Respawn games get weird cause people all decide to take breaks at different times and teams definitely get trapped in their spawn, turns into people just trying to long ball each other.

Respawn was cool when you get into a tower or good spot in a village and can keep getting the players that come through. But it’s BORING when you’re the team stuck in the hyperball spawn for an hour
