Especially because it's over 9 weeks, not on one day like each Challenge group last year. So much can change in the span of 9 weeks.
Probably slightly too few players involved but other than that this is probably the best format I've seen, if they managed to get this to 32 or 40 I'd be all for it.

Round robin format means a lot of matches. They're already taking 9 weeks for 10 players and 45 matches. If they had 32 players, that would mean 496 matches. 40 players = 780 matches. At the current rate of 5 matches per week, 32 players would need 99 weeks and 40 players would need 156 weeks.
So yeah, 40 players would need 3 years to play all their matches.
