I suspect that the money prizes will be given on Christmas with regular tournaments in the Legends Club. It'll be much easier to advance there in October and November. Those in this first wave will have a brutal surprise pretty soon: they wasted hundreds of hours of their lives.
While the Legend league will eventually have prizes and events, the main league contest, which is the current focus, will be over in a few weeks.
...will be over in a few weeks.
Then why is currently possible to join Wood? You will be able to calculate the weeks remaining only if Wood get closed.

Because leagues are an ongoing feature. There are no plans to have general resets.

You are absolutely right. This is exactly why I didn't report him.
However, it's a pawn difference and arguably worse position. For for a ~1000 Elo match, those arguments become even less relevant. That's why I'm here expressing my disgust.
I didn't accuse. I just pointed out that this behaviour is borderline abuse, since this is one example from a pool of several, similar resigned matches.
Had a few similar games, where the player resigned for apparently no good reason, it was actually funny, you could tell, who plays for the game and who is collecting trophies😂
I wouldn't even call it abuse, people are simply doing, what the competition requires, that is collect the points as fast as they can. Arguing about the position(winning/losing/whatever) is pointless and reporting it is I imagine pointless too, since it would be like asking chess.com to punish people for what they asked them to do in the first place😂
I have a question. I play somewhere for 4 weeks and I'm on silver but every week I was moving on to new awards now I'm in 1st place at the silver award and I wonder why people are ahead of me? And I wonder why there are people at the Crystal and Elite Awards? Can anyone answer me? I will be very grateful
Yes. You can see your history below.
It looks like you advanced to Stone the first week ended 12/26. Then you didn't play enough to advance further the week ended 1/2. Then you didn't play at all the week ended 1/9. You finally advanced to Bronze the week ended 1/16 and then to Silver the week ended 1/23.
And the Elite leaders have passed 11,000 with a day to go.

Your point that it will take a long time to get a division of 50 in the Legends league is interesting.
However, the announced cash prizes will be decided based on who reaches the Champion league.
All who advance to Championship League will be over 12k. My guess is that the winner of the 1st championship league will be at 20k

Maybe. Not sure how easy that will be now that simuls have been removed from giving trophies.
God damn. How much do this people play? If I play alot I get to like 1500 trophies. 11k. Sounds like they play 12 hours per day every day or more.

that's not true:

they are still around 7k
this is obviously unfair: there should be a repechage mechanism that allow some high scorers (say, top 1% of the excluded) to qualify anyway.
Hello everyone I have another question. I will move on to the Crystal Award in 5 hours Do you think I will have a chance to achieve the Legend Award? Of course if I devote a lot of time to the game.
Yes. You can see your history below.

thanks
extremely small chance, you need to quintiple your playtime to even have a minute chance of winning, even then, its very low
Elite is the first hard division it will be interesting to see how many trophies you will need to progress to champions in say 6 months time.
