I was wrong. The satellite doesn't aim to identify the strongest player according to CIS rules. The goal is to give a chance to many. That's why the variance is increased, but in such a way that the influence of skill still remains.
Think of the satellite as a qualifying stage for the Sunday Million.
If we consider the satellite as a qualifying stage for the Sunday Million, then the M200 format would be more suitable. There's plenty of variance there too.
And the goal – "to give a chance to many" – would be clearly visible. Here, I only see chances for Hell and Reddy, because they are the ones who play these patterns more often and better than others.
