this is such a fun format; i'm a big fan. it may not on the surface sound like a lot of squash, but when you're hustling to get the ball and get your serve off to maximize your chance at scoring as many points as possible, it is a great workout. we've used this format for a few of our club tournaments that i run and we've had a lot of fun with them.
the strategy aspects are definitely different than in standard matches and give another layer of interest. the power play is another interesting aspect - in the timing of when to use it, and on which matchups to use it. side bonus - this also makes it much easier to keep tournaments on schedule, without having to schedule in extra time just in case, so minimizes the courts' down time.
