Hi!
I´m playing another tournament that weekend, but I´m curious about the qualification system.
Have you tried it before?
The bonus points that get awarded from round 3 and on seem a bit weird to me. If you for some reason get a bad start in the tourney, the bonus points seem to make it harder for you to catch up and make a come back.
And you haven´t decided how many qualification rounds that will be played, but rather
"We will play as many rounds as possible until the end of the qualifying session"
So, it sounds like if you´re in the top-24 and the qualification time is almost up, you could try to stall the tourney and play extremely slowly to ensure that no more rounds are played (and that you yourself get to the playoffs).
Just curious. :-)
