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.
