Space out round 1s a little more solves like 95% of the issue for concurrent tournament overlap

Hey there, RBTT Week 1, I'm GMT -5. Can do Friday evening or any time Sat/Sun. Sat/Sun early afternoon preferred.

I suggest implementing a hybrid model that retains the objectivity of usage based tiering, integrates the subjective experience of tier experts, and mitigates the influence of Bot data. 1. Implement a two pronged approach to handling Bots. Create a reporting structure with PS to identify bot...
