Thank you for the tournament!
Indeed luck for sure plays a big part in 58 rounds. From the rating lists we know the two Winters are closer to about 100 Elo separation whereas here the performance differs by about 170.
I quite enjoyed following the classic old-school large double round robin format. In the past a lot of the supertournaments had this format. Nowadays you just have Wijk/Tata Steel doing something similar, and even there, 14 players is somewhat constrained.
