Huh... I wasn't aware of the 50% rule. I haven't run a tourney since an open one last year.
I guess all I'm saying is that I think TPA cards can in the future be done in such a way that allows for smaller tournaments and isn't exclusive (which, as you point out, isn't allowed). As you and Kinnison ...
I understand not wanting invites. Just pondering possible benefits of earning a (theoretical) card.
What about guaranteed invites to majors and/or tourneys of a certain size (i.e., 128 and more, with, in my model, around 40 or so carded players guaranteed invites)? Or tourneys specifically for ...

that makes it even more difficult for the new player coming in, as it is now 3 against one, as the initial starting players will have an alliance to go to the end and then fight it out, so it makes it actually pointless to play, in the real royal rumble it was always better to come in last because ...
