Conceding left & right is the format! Sounds like you don’t like the idea after all. 
Yes, but everyone’s too boring to do it the real way.
I played in one actual Flip Frenzy run by the Aussies on their custom software at Logan, amazing experience. I’ve played in a bunch of “net wins” Faux Frenzies since then. Just feels like a tournament.
TLDR: tourney people suck the joy out of everything they touch.
