Looks a bit complicated and worse then it was before. It would be better if instead playing by exact dates there was some exact period during which players should play with each other.
As per me, I know that I can't participate on 8th of April because i will be travelling. And now I have dilema = to pay registration fee or not participate in this tourney. And I tend to choose the last option because I think that when player misses game he already has penalty by not getting points that will reduce his reward.
So I dissapointed a bit and will skip this event despite i was looking forward it. And looking to join some tourney with flexible days.
