round 2 of prelims and playoffs have same variations. there is no difference among them in time as well.

there should have been some difference between them

A playoff should ideally reflect the performance over the preliminary rounds. That is why there are two Classics to represent Round 1, and the four variants to represent Round 2.

Also, the playoff format will not be on paper. There is a note that this round will also make it possible for audiences to view the solvers. It will be a first-to-finish format, and 1 hour is a rough estimate to let people know the timeline for which they need to be present. You'll know more details about the playoff at the venue.
