I have no clue if this would be possible, but it'd be extremely interesting to see a quantitative look at how playoff structures in nba/nfl/nhl/mlb/world cup/etc. impact the outcomes in the respective leagues, and theorize to the difference the outcomes would be with different playoff structures

similarly, how the 2/3/2 vs 2/2/1/1/1 playoff systems impacts round winners in 7 game series
