I wouldn't be as defeatist as that, but it does make things a lot more difficult.

How come they abandoned the round robin in the minor? One game and out is very bad form at that grade. You still end up training just as much so it's not like any meaningful time away from studying is saved.

Burnout!!

It was part of the anti-burnout measures passed at Special Congress that Minor Round Robins are now outlawed.
