Hi there, just brief comment: tournament 83, 1105 players. 81 players had to pass round 1 to cut the group to 1024 players so that the tournament spider worked. BUT, those who advanced through this round and were eliminated then, were ranked only by the damage done in the second round which, at least to me, seems rather unfair...
The way it works it uses 2048 spots instead of 1024, so in the second round there was 1024 players left.
