Should the Jeopardy! College Championship have used this format (and should it be used if the show gets a second season)?

The format for the 36-person tournament was that there were 12 quarterfinals and then 4 semifinals, where the top 3 scorers would make the finals, eliminating a winning semifinalist.

However, I feel the College Championship should have either done a 4-person game for the finals like the quarterfinals of Super Jeopardy! did so they wouldn’t have to eliminate a semifinal winner or just use the same bracket that Super Jeopardy! used (9 4-person quarterfinals, 3 3-person semifinals, and then a 2-game final).

What do you all think?
