Here's a Q... Just say a player has 1800 an joins your tourney which it will accept cuz your rating is over 1700. Then u start to lose horribly and go below 1700 just before the start of the tourney. Does the programming know to not allow you to play once it starts setting up the games? If someone has already asked this Im sorry I musta missed it!

The system will still let the person play.

But the tournament creator does have all rights to remove any player they do not think (or want) from their tournament.

So for example sometimes I will have "dummy" tournaments for players rated below 1500. At the time the tournament starts, I remove anyone that has a lot higher rating then 1500. (if they have let say 1508 or something close I usually let them stay - but it is up to each tournament creator.)

no the person who made the tournament woould have to remove them if they wanted to.

It was mentiond before, but with the max bkr limit and then going over. I think it only takes into consideration your BKR when you sign up Rose.


I dont mind someone joining and that happens :o) At least they are capable of playing the game, we all have bad days or week LOL

What bothered me is that I'm in a tournament that started in july. The person I was playing was rated higher than me then. Now I won the game today, but because my BKR is 1000 points above his, I gained nothing from it.

Well similar to that Backoff - after the big "crash", so players just resigned many of their games - and now have under 1000 BKR. They are good players, and now if you lose against them, you will lose a lot of BKR points since they are rated so low (but still good players)
