Hello, what is the purpose of the qualification stage? (After all, one game is not a reliable indicator, and when signing up for a tournament, you want to play against different opponents, not just rely on luck in one game).
P.S. Just a question for general knowledge.
The tournament is held within a pre-announced timeframe, and its start date is set for February 1st. The number of participants is not limited by the rules.
The qualification stage is held only if it is necessary to equalize the number of participants in the group tournament for its proper conduct.
For example, in the past, there were 27 participants in the novice tournament, so a qualification stage was held for 3 pairs of participants to ensure that there were 24 people in the groups (4 groups of 6 people).
(Subsequently, the players who lost in the qualification stage were placed on standby in the groups).
