Don't know why this really didn't occur to me before but the price of losing out early in these tourneys is pretty steep. Bengtson has gone from being a contender for a title to having to dig deep, apply himself and make sure he takes care of business for the rest of the year. Even after all that he'll have a pretty low world ranking with no shot at a title in sight for some time.
It's similar to the feeder league tourneys I had going in the HBF where if you didn't win the final it could set you back a whole year.
