You need to think like someone who wasn’t born in the late 1900s. If I had to guess, I’d say something like Minecraft.

Glad to hear we get one in August. Wish Day 1 didn't happen the same day as the ACQ BO1 events.

I think that this is an April 1st situation, but I'll not be too surprised if I'm wrong.

Oh, I was actually meant to refer more to the ratio, not the total. Spending 20+% of event time on playing vs judging seemed like bad ratio of time. Adding playing as a requirement seems reasonable, making it a sizable priority seems overkill.

Well, you don't have to be an excellent player to play in Comp-level events. You just have to be willing to dump time and money into playing in these events.
However, as we only require HLJ to judge 6-8 multi-day events per year, I'm not sure that adding more 2 events as a player would make sense.
