Andrey, your formula has a small flaw – if 10 masters and 6 newcomers emerge, then 4 masters will play against each other – which means some will be “lucky” in the early stages of the playoffs, while others won’t. There are 2 options here:
1. Generate pairs randomly.
2. Seed based on group results – but then either “newcomers” will face seasoned players like Villa/Exa/Dima/Adv/Moza in the first round, or we lead newcomers and masters through the bracket separately and only bring them together closer to the final.
