Zhenya and Kostya. Could you calculate the proposed scheme by Khosenko in comparison to the one you consider correct (by the way, which one is it?), so that it would be immediately clear from a specific example why and where exactly it is "lol"?
Keep in mind that it is quite obvious that Khosenko is trying to solve the classic (and correct) problem of "favorites" – to allow the favorite faction to play longer, even if they lose in the first few games (here, everyone will play at least 4 games). And at the same time, solve the problem of meaningless games that no longer have any impact in a competitive sense (here, there will be no meaningless games for anyone at all – if you are playing a match, it means you can still win the tournament).
