Month long event sounds good to me. Sure, it makes the variance rather high, very easy for any one person not to qualify for the Final via just running bad for a few weeks, but I think it'd be better in general to have month long events than three month long events.

I think more people would be inclined to participate since they don't have to devote as much time overall in order to qualify for the "end" event. And just keeps things more interesting to have those end of series events more often rather than every three months, spreads the wealth a bit more, rather than making it all about one big event after three months which obviously has a lot of short term variance!
