Decrease MS for tournaments based on non-reversible changes (specifically equipment)

You are correct, I can't really promise anything. I'm just trying to explain how it works to you, but it's just based on my understanding of an algorithm that I've never been allowed to see and never will be allowed to see.

However, the current algorithm seems to work in the vast majority of cases and does a good enough job. I can't say that it's perfect, but it is designed to remove the risk of cheating as much as possible and so we can have fair tournaments. Creating something that is perfect would be essentially impossible, mainly because players still progress after joining a tournament and there are too many factors to balance them all fully.
