You've pretty much got it. Going from futures to challengers is the toughest part in my opinion, because players can get stuck for a while in being 'too good' for futures but not good enough for challengers. In general, I think they should play at a level that they can be fairly successful at, but not to the point of there being no competition. If they are consistently winning FT3s, I'd move them up. Generally speaking I want my players to be losing in the QF and SF to have the best balance of improving their ranking and training up their skills. Winning the tournament is better than going out in the first round, but neither is optimal for development.
