How can there be 40-50 games if there are only 2 weeks per game, and a total of 52 games?
There is one major drawback to having a strong incentive to play well: if there is a period of time coming up where it will be difficult to find time for games (either due to an increased workload or, conversely, a vacation), many players will play not to win, but to lose (although, judging by the level of skill required of the participants, no one will notice or know this). Because, considering the regulations, it will be difficult to get on the list, and it will be easier to earn points quickly and get the necessary 3-4 weeks of "vacation" in the tournament without making it obvious.

However, kudos to the organizers :smile12:. Everything is well thought out, and there are clear answers to "tricky" questions, as well as a suggestion to change the regulations :smile16:.
