D) for me...

Assume C=100, a=7, if I use 1 min per game, I lose 9.12% gwc, making me 40.88% foverite for the game, and 24.95% for the match (binomial distribution over 13 samples )

Now I decide to sacrifice a game, and use 13/12 minutes for the 12 games... I am 44.91% favortite for the game, and 25.86% (binomial distribution over 12 samples) for the match. So it's a better strategy.

make C=50 and now 1 minute per game give 36.85% and 13/12 give 32.04%

So the best strategy depends of the values for C and A
