So... (if you are on the top competing), you should try to lose the first few tournaments and then win the last one in the 4 month period to get the most rewards?

I don't like the ideas for excluding people out of events too much. The current system will balance itself out eventually. First it was one person always winning, but now with crowns stacking against him, there is now two. When crowns start to stack against them both more, there will be three. And so on.

It will be slow, but eventually there will be an appropriate amount of crowns to balance the top players.
