There are plans for an overhaul of the leagues system but there are no details about what that may look like and will probably be a while before it happens.

So, has there been any discussion about a rating based tournament Structure? Kind of like Halo for example? Where you rank from 10 matches, get placement, then battle for CHAMPION within your tier? As your skill improves you rank up into higher tiers making it more difficult? Maybe have CHESS.COM merch for winners? Use AI to spot sandbaggers etc. Right now, the basic tournament Structure is more effort based than skill based, and once you reach a tournament tier, like Crystal for instance, you remain there even if you're very good overall. It would be cool to have more incentive to rank up.
