I was so pissed off by the pairing that day. The tournament was too strong for my taste. Try to attract also less strong players!

Thanks for the suggestion. We have invited a lot of players, indeed. We're constantly promoting the tournament in this weekly review besides the weekly reminder and the polls. Sometimes we carry out special initiatives to attract people. You also have advertised our tournaments in your posts (thank you, btw!). We're also implementing the Lighteye scoring system (which is inclusive) and intend to award all the Hivers who have a participation ratio of 50% minimum. We also have special prizes that lower rated players can play for, like the greatest upset, the beauty prize, the best post, etc.
So, we've done many things... and many players have joined! Some of them seem to be part of the stronger group. Perhaps we can run tournaments by sections (Do you remember that idea?) and somehow increase the reward pool :)
