Is a sub-tournament of "NP vs. LM" needed within the Novice tournament?

Over the past 2 seasons of the "Novichok" tournament, approximately 50% of the games in the NP vs. LM tournament remain unplayed, which raises questions about the need for this tournament. The NP vs LM tournament is a fun tournament within the "Novichok" tournament where players who have advanced to the playoff stage can challenge strong ХВ players. Voting is open to Top-ranked ХВ players and novice players whose registration date on ХВ is after May 31, 2015.
