I am quite unsure of specific numbers (due to my not having a perfect memory), hence the uncertain language. I was just giving ballpark figures. I do know for sure, however, that it is currently being done more frequently than once per year.
Yes, other players told me, which I do realize may not be a completely reliable source.
