Hello
@Kaiphranos I hope you are well!
I wanted to talk to you about a "problem" I've noticed with the card competitions (although I'm probably not the first one to make this observation). I notice that very often very high level cartographers take part in competitions. Although they have every right to do so, this often discourages novices or small players from participating because the chances of winning are slim compared to experienced players.
So I thought of a solution: Why not create two competitions? Both would have the same subject, but one would be "junior" for low level players and the other would be "senior" for high level players. In order to know in which category we should play we could create a system based on the victories. A player who has already won four or more MOTFs would be obliged to play in the senior category while a player who has had no or very few wins would be able to choose between the senior and junior categories. To prevent the same players from monopolizing the junior category, a victory system could be created whereby players who have won five or six victories in the junior category would be required to play in the senior category.
It should probably be forbidden for a player to participate in both competitions at the same time (even if the subject is the same).
I agree that it's a lot of work, but it would open up the competition a little bit more to those who want to get into it.
What do you think about it?
