The current CP prizes:
Each and every event will be run Swiss style with the number of rounds based on participants. The finishers in the event will receive Challenge Points (CPs) based on their final standings. The point breakdown can be found below:
My feedback about the structure of rewards is that for tournaments as large as we're having it seems like the >1 CP rewards should go deeper than 16th. An idea would be something like this:
A different idea would be to just get 1 CP per match won then bonuses based on finish which could be the same as the current CP rewards. So if you go 5-3 and finish 17th you get 5 points but if you go 6-2 and finish 12th you get 9 points.
Just some ideas... I just thought it'd feel pretty unrewarding for those around 17th-32nd who have done really well in a field of 187 but received the same reward as someone who went 0-8. Would also give people more to play for near the last few rounds of the tournament otherwise basically if you're 3-3 after 6 rounds there's probably nothing more to play for.
