 Subject: Question about MinitournamentsMessage: I have been reading thru the rules as well as FAQ, but I couldn't find anything about the following: a) If I start a Minitournament, why is it that I can't choose the range of rating lower than 2350 and higher than 2950? Best wishes Cairo |

I'm guessing that the rating limit of a mini tourney has to center somewhere around your own rating, to help limit it to players that more closely match you. *Wizard_of_Odd* |

| cairo 8/25/2003 00:26:40 [ report this post ] | Mike's answer Message: Hello, The rating system is based on a premise that a rating difference of 400 points means practically a certain win. So to ensure a fair selection of players in a mini-tournament, you can only select a rating range within 300 points of your. You can also start an unrated mini-tournament, in which case you'll be able to invite anyone you like regardless of their rating. Best regards, Mike, webmaster of GameKnot.com That is also in accordance with unacanta's answer above! Best wishes Cairo |
