However, the number of rating points and grail rewards is a separate issue.
Equate 5 stages of a blitz to one. Regarding the perceived simplicity of the tournament – these are just assumptions, and announcing the results of the first stage, along with a description of the winner's gameplay, will dispel them. Furthermore, the rating system will make the tournament competition more intense – it will provide some motivation, however small.
P.S. I specifically expressed my opinion on this matter before the results are announced, so that some people don't think I'm "looking out" for myself. The announcement of the results will provide an answer to this question.
