For the future, here's an idea: the same nine rounds of a Swiss-system tournament. Let's say we need to select 10 people. We make the top three places automatic qualifiers, and the places from 4 to 17 play tiebreaker matches in a BO3 format: 4-17, 5-16, 6-15, 7-14, 8-13, 9-12, 10-11. At least, in theory, it looks good and doesn't contradict the Swiss-system idea; it just means that three places become automatic qualifiers, and another 14 go into the tiebreaker zone. In theory, this should maintain motivation both for the chasing group – they need to get into the tiebreakers – and at the very top, where there's a fight for the top places.

The idea is great, but the overall meaning remains the same: instead of 9 contenders, we get 17, meaning that there will be a similar struggle for places 12 to 17, with the possibility of agreeing on a draw, only the skill level of the players will be slightly lower. This change in the rules will likely satisfy a larger number of "daddy gamers," but we shouldn't forget that the number of "daddy gamers" only increases year after year.

Any competition system where there are no elimination games, but there is the possibility of playing to a draw, allows players to agree on the result.
