Why Does It Change Between Formats?

Round-robin:
Matches are often shorter and less intense; tempo is steady and consistent.

Knockout:
Higher stakes lead to increased pressure and potential changes in rhythm.

Set play vs. leg play:
Set play allows natural pauses between sets; leg play tends to be faster and more continuous.

Stage events vs. floor events:
Stage events often have walk-ons, crowd interaction, and TV breaks; floor events run quicker.
