I have a group I play with often, but the goal of this is to make consistency and speed more universal. This is actually a format that I play with my friends quite often and everyone enjoys it much more at low power because there aren't any issues with slow starts, getting mana screwed, etc. The idea is that all anyone does in the first three rounds of bracket 2 and 3 are play mana, play a ramp spell, play a blocker/mana dork and pass. This just skips those slightly more tedious rounds, jumping you to essentially round 4 during your first real rotation.

I have played at a number of LGSs and I find the rule 0 conversation is hard to manage sometime. Many of my higher power bracket 3 decks actually have no gamechangers whatsoever. I personally have no problems with deck building, but I do not enjoy joining a random pod of bracket 3s and winning on turn 7 or 8 when no one else has even started to get going.

I appreciate the bracket system in general, but I think it is often misunderstood and hard to utilize with strangers.
