That's a minimum of four and a maximum of nine frames. That's perfectly workable.
A final could be best of seven sets: minimum eight frames, a maximum of 21 frames. Also perfectly workable.
Seriously, someone suggest this to Hurn! I am far too lazy to do so.
i suggested this to hearn 8 years ago he ignored me at the time but i thought in about 4 years he would have done this and passed it on as his own idea.
Say it again. He’s old, would be liable to forget

It might be a nice way for the best of seven events to separate themselves in some way, as it looks like snooker in the UK will have short formats as a default for newer events.
I think this is a very interesting idea!
