Seems fair to me. Consider the baseball World Series. The first team to win 4 games takes the championship. Is that scientific? Hardly. Does it mean the losing team (say, the Mets this year) couldn't beat the winning team (the Yanks this year) in *another* series? Nope. But it does mean the winner beat every team through the playoffs, then beat the second-place team in a short series. That makes them champs *at this moment, in this series.* Works for me.
