I'm not sure why this would be so. Or maybe I wouldn't see why it would be any different.
I've used this analogy before somewhere else I think, but in most sports (all?) the score in the semi final is thrown away when you get to the final, with each team starting from zero again. This is the shootout tourney. each table is regarded as its own game/tourney and each round is treated independantly, like winning a buyin to a major tournament from a satellite.
The 'normal' tourney structure is closer to one gbig table that everyone is playing at, or at least as close as you can get to that with a 52 card pack
One major point here is:
You should run your tourney any way that you want
if you shuffle the tables etc then it wouldn't be a shootout in the strictest sense, but that's not really important if it works out and you have a good time running it and playing.
Personally i get a great kick out of running these things and half the fun is experimenting with changes to shake things up every now and again.
Best of luck!
