I cant see the difficulty.

Code S: group stages -> high ranked players play an elimiation format for a big prize pool
low ranked play against high Code A players. Winners are in Code S, loosers in Code A.

Code A: Play a seperate tourney, the high ranked players can ascent into code S if they win against the low Code S players.
Upper half of Code A players stay in Code A, Lower half doesnt, they need to go through the qualifiers.

Open Qualifier: Lower spaces of Code A for the top players of this tourney.

i dont understand how often the open tournaments happen. so is the open tournaments completely over or do they do this every year? what happens after they get the S class and A class people? are there more tournaments in the spring?

more confusing that i would like

Really don't like how its working out with the tiers. would rather have seeding from previous tournaments like osl/msl (though it sorta works like it i guess)

When people made the format pictures with arrows it was pretty clear how it works. Dunno how it can confuse so much people.

To me it seems pretty straight forward. More interesting is what the format does for movements between S, A and B. I think S will be more or less set after 3-5 seasons.

Understanding how it works isn't the hard part. I find trying to come up with reasons why the hell they would use such a travesty as system to be mind boggling difficult.

If you've looked at one of those charts and you still don't get it, you're probably not too good at understanding things anyway.

It's easy to understand otherwise.

It's also a really good system. Much more like a major league sport with a regular season leading into play-offs and a Super Bowl...

if somebody asks what happens after the group stages and what happens to winners/losers of these stages i could tell him, that pretty easy.

but if somebody would ask me how this group stage works, how the next group stage will work and how code A works... i would not be ab le to answer this.

so answer is no
