Not that keen on 5x3 as a multi-day format - more useful as a one day format to get the games in.
OTOH the idea of not having to get up at crack of dawn to fit 3 games in on the Saturday is quite attractive.
How about something even more off-the-wall:
Players supply army lists at 650 points and 900 points. The 650 point army has to be a sub-set of the 900 point list. Tables are marked out for 6x4 and 5x3.
Play 900 points on 6 x 4 on Friday evening and Sunday, 650 points on 5 x 3 on Saturday.
Then we can get up at a reasonable hour and finish at a reasonable hour on the Saturday, and the tournament is spiced up a bit.
