I've been thinking about this for a while, but isn't Headon's eye for Regulars actually quite bad? After all, a chunk of them never even passed the "~30F Shinsoo density barrier", and don't get me started on competence and talents of an average Regular. Statistically speaking, an average Regular fails or dies already on 2F.

In fact, because of the nature of the 2F, out of 800 Regulars of the first stage (= 2x 400 -> 200 -> groups of 3), less than 20 can successfully pass through this Floor, and this accounts for the winners of the Crown Game. There is Free-For-All elimination, various aptitude tests, Position test, and then there is still only a limited number of "pass" slots per each position (e.g., 5 Fishermen). In summary, Headon selected Regular has ~2.5% chance of actually making it through 2F, assuming they always process ~800 Regulars at once.

In other words, not only does Headon's selection appear to be somewhat inadequate, the adequacy of his selection doesn't even seem to matter all that much. Instead of selecting Regulars, he's basically providing a haystack of Regulars so that 2F can do the selection instead.
