Information: I have a proposal to change the rules, but since 1/3 of the tournament has already passed, it needs to be discussed. I already wrote to Nitro, but he hasn't responded yet. The idea came to me when FTS had a winning streak, and now that Gomunguls has a winning streak, this topic has become relevant. Specifically: to make changes to the rules regarding the handicap and points in the following way.
The handicap starts at -2k for the King of the Hill and +2k for the Challenger, and 1 point is awarded for a win. If the King of the Hill has a winning streak of 3 games (1 as a Challenger and 2 as a King), then in the following games, the handicap starts at -3k for the King of the Hill and +3k for the Challenger, and 1.5 points are awarded for a win (which is important for both the Challenger and the King). If the King of the Hill has a winning streak of 5 games (1 as a Challenger and 4 as a King), then in the following games, the handicap starts at -4k for the King of the Hill and +4k for the Challenger, and 2 points are awarded for a win (again, for both the Challenger and the King).
-4k/+4k and 2 points for a win is the maximum, and the stakes will not be raised above this value.
If you approve this change, the points will need to be recalculated slightly, taking into account the tournament results. Overall, I've had this idea in mind since around June, as I believe that the rules in this area are not well-written.
When Fair won 4 times in a row, I was surprised that he wasn't given 1.5 points for the last game (which would have been logical, since it's harder for him to play)... I reread the rules, kept my opinion to myself, and didn't write anything, but since there's a discussion, I can say that the current rules look stupid, and if there are changes that skd has outlined, I'm in favor of them. Otherwise, everyone in the tournament is against the King, and it only gets harder with each game...
P.S. Ideally, it would be like this: if the King wins 3 games in a row, for example, then he will receive 1.5 points for the next win, and the Challenger always gets 1. I don't see any point in giving extra points to the Challenger. Let him become the King, win 3 games in a row, and then get bonuses.

By the way, I think that you and Nitro should decide this yourselves, and not ask the players, because here either those who are interested will be (like me or Fair), and those who are not interested. But the question is about improving and making the rules more adequate.
