That's a very sensible suggestion, Mr. Spicy. 
Too many competitors in live chess tournaments

What's the upper limit for the number of participants in a live tournament?
Reason I'm asking is that it appears that the upper limit has gone up in the past or the tourneys are more popular now.
Quite frequently several players end up with 5 wins out of 5 games in 10|0 rapid tournaments, not ideal really.
Maybe tournaments should start more frequently to bring the average participation down to a more sensible level.
