I read that matches need to be continuous or pre-designated. Does that imply that as long as the matches were played in succession you don't have to specify beforehand which ones that will count? If yes, this is cherry-picking IMO. If no, I don't understand why it's relevant to mention "continuous".

In the case of individual applications, it is actually explicitly stated that you need to specify the matches beforehand.

I think perhaps my English is letting me down here.

Rick asked me privately for my reaction to a preliminary draft of part of this document. I'm pleased to see that he has introduced levels more challenging than 3.0 PR. Those did not exist in the first draft, and that was probably my main objection.

I also flagged the issue that you are flagging here. I do not think your English is letting you down. I interpret the sentence the same way you do, and I think that that is the natural interpretation. But I also suspect that it is not the intent. I think the intent is that the preference is "continuous and pre-designated," but that they want to allow for some non-continuous exceptions, provided that they are pre-designated. I feel pretty confident that they do not want to allow a non-pre-designated continuous series to be retroactively included after the player sees how it turned out. But this should be explicitly clarified. The current wording seems to allow non-pre-designated continuous matches.
