... To somewhat level the playing field, the following rule is introduced: After each match, the player who lost receives a decreasing coefficient for the chances of being selected next time. The coefficient will decrease by 0.25 after each lost game. For example, initially, all players have a selection coefficient of 1; if a player is selected and loses their match, their coefficient becomes 0.75, and so on, down to 0.25 (if the player is selected three times and loses) – the coefficient will not go below this value. At the beginning of each year, the coefficients are reset back to one.
What a terribly distant understanding of probability theory. The concepts are confused, or there is manipulation of concepts: the probability of participating in a tournament and the probability of participating in a new round. The use of probability coefficients less than 1 contradicts common sense. Otherwise, this means the following: someone who has not played may not play at all, and someone who has played may play again and again.
