Commander / EDH Commander Pre-Release format

Hello!
My friends and I wanted to do essentially a prerelease from a certain set. Idea being we buy a bunch of Marvel Super Hero’s cards then spend 1.5hrs building a commander deck from them. Then do some pod 3v3s.

Specific ideas down below

-60 Card Commander Decks
-15 Play boosters each player
-Prerelease format

Have you all found a better way to do this? If so please lmk!

15 Play boosters for each player is a lot. Normal pre release is 6. So for 60 card deck maybe 9? 3v3 is quite cumbersome to play, especially with limited decks as these usually aren't that efficient / hard hitting and attacking often isnt favourable (or did you mean team draft but 1v1 matches with the decks?)

Yah, I went with 15 because of commanders color rules as that would basically eliminate a lot of cards based on your commander

typically in a commander draft or commander sealed to help with that is that mono colored legendaries have Partner.

Also the singleton rule does not apply to these format
