"only XL-5"

As I understand it, the forum's integrated rating was used to assign players to brackets. However, there's a problem – it hasn't been updated for several months. Although, this won't significantly affect the overall picture.

Partially, yes, there are some players in the 1st bracket who don't quite belong there based on their rating, but when combined with the second prize bracket, it looks reasonable. The others will have to compete against them. In the end, we can compare the percentage of "upstarts" who make it to the qualifying positions.
