Say you have a tournament with 20 participants, some sort of 10 game qualifying format, 8 top qualifiers play heads-up best of 5 knockout for the win. In total 25 games and a TGP of 100%.
If the same tournament had 5 of the 20 participants that didn’t qualify for the “5 tournament rule”, would the 10 qualifying games be disregarded as less than 50% of the “rated” players are being cut before the finals, making it what is mentioned as seeding in the IFPA rule description. And pull the TGP for the tournament down to 60% for the 15 final games?
I haven’t been able to find any clarification to this on the IFPA website.
