the likes of Harrington, Gordon, Hellmuth, Duke, and even Vorhaus have reinforced through numerous writings the idea that there are three stages to a tournament.

Three stages to a tournament is far too simplistic and none of these writers really play by that belief either, whether they believe it or not.
