Yes, Fairness is the word, because it is not IMPOSSIBLE to win, you just need a couple of conditions to be met for a new player to be able to advance.
And its also not fair in the sense that i see tournaments with 150 players, in which 100 are bronze or novice and 50 are gold or diamond players. When i see that i see misfortune for the 100 players haha
Thanks for the comment!
