How can there be 40-50 games if there are only 52 games in total, and each game takes 2 weeks?
Steam has one major weakness when it comes to playing well: if there's a difficult period coming up with limited time for games (either an intensified work schedule or, conversely, a vacation), many will play not to win, but to lose. Because, considering the rules, it will be difficult to get into the list, and it's easier to quietly earn points and the necessary 3-4 weeks of "vacation" in the tournament without drawing attention to yourself.

However, kudos to the organizers :smile12:. Everything is well thought out, and there are clear answers to "tricky" questions, and a suggestion to change the rules :smile16:.
Well, 2 weeks per game is the maximum, in case the game drags on or some unforeseen difficulties arise. I will ask each eliminated contender about their readiness to play, and if they are not ready, I will take another one, and so on. And if the King cannot play, he falls back into the pool with the others, and a new pair is launched (2 contenders fight for the title of King). The principle here is: if you can't defend the Mountain, someone else will take it. But, of course, everything is within reason; no one will force anyone to play within 1-2 days, but players should at least start playing within a week.
Пусть мой враг будет силен и страшен. Если я поборю его, то не буду чувствовать стыда.
