Wrong for France. Every team, even the two 4th played at least 3 BO3 and 1 BO5 (Currently only the semi finalist MDR and DVM have played 3 BO3 and will play their obligatory BO5 this week-end). KCBS and Siko are currently the team that played most with 3 BO3 and 2 BO5 and KCBS will have their third BO5 Saturday and could have a 4th BO5 if they win.
Even then, the relegated teams enter the Up and Down bracket and will still have two matchs at minimum if they don't change how the Up and Down were done from the previous years.
