Advancing to the next round. Anyone who misses a turn can't go thru, and if they win, the last player to be eliminated will go thru instead. If everyone missed a turn, the last person to do so wins. If you can't play your turn, you may ask someone who isn't in the tournament, nor your opponent in any current game, and with a similar score to you, to play for you which they must announce in game chat, per FAQ 17.

I don't see why the extra two rounds are necessary for players that have low ranks. Either keep people under 1600 points out of the tournament (which is legal), or allow everyone to play anyone.

It's to keep it fair and open, but at the same time reduce luck as much as possible as a factor (which is the theme for the tournament). Without preliminary and qualifying games, a field marshal (FM) would in the very 1st game for instance be drawn with a cook and a middle ranked player, and some circumstances there could lead to a huge loss of points for the FM because of bad luck rather than poor playing by the FM. If however the cook wins the preliminary and qualifying games and becomes a "giant-killer", it's then more likely that it's because their skill is much improved.
