About having brackets, It could possibly reduce the spending of players who buy crystals to refil MP since there's less competition.

Wizard Cup events are the only ones where IAP players have a overly tilted advantage over non-IAP players (Guess they still have to earn money somehow). Since it's a competition, those who spam crystals to get better spirits would trump the tournaments easier since they could get better lineups. Also, using mass crystals to refill MP definitely gives them an obvious advantage (It's the benefits of paying, can't be avoided in any F2P game). Other times, players do not even interact with each other so your own spirits wouldn't have to compare with the spirits of other players.

Of course answering skills still do play a role, but once you reach around rank 13/14 and above, all that matters are the spirits you use and the luck you get since most players at that rank have at least a reasonable grasp of the game and it's questions.

Not really sure where I'm going with this comment but I'm tired so I'll just call this ramblings XD
