The only way I would see this happening is if the increase the competitor cap at big championships, like over 2.5k or smth, cuz then it would be weird to eliminate 2k people from the first round, so it would make more sense
I'd be in support of adding the choice for 5+ rounds, I'd also be in support of lowering the minimum number of competitiors for 4 rounds to 80 or so. 15 is the minimum for 3 rounds and thats quite small compared to 100 for 4.
