If someone is only going to be on once every 7 days to play in the tournament, the tournaments are going to go on far too long for me to participate in them. The Helicopter tournament has 3 rounds, and if it took 7 days to play each round, you'd be looking at almost a month long tournament.

Not to mention, a person only has to PLAY once every 7 days, they don't have to use all 3 of their tries. So someone could do something like this:

First Round
6 days of no play
First try, 7th day
6 days of no play
Second try, 14th day
6 days of no play
Third try, 21st day

Second Round
6 days of no play
First try, 28th day
6 days of no play
Second try, 35th day
6 days of no play
Third try, 42nd day

Third Round
6 days of no play
First try, 49th day
6 days of no play
Second try, 56th day
6 days of no play
Third try, 63rd day


You're looking at an over-two-month tournament here. Unlikely that it would happen like that, but it very well could.
