When a player who starts out unrated, but before the tournament starts - goes OVER the rating limit, they will STAY in the tournament by default.
Now what I do when I run (for example 1500 & under) tournaments, before the tournament actually starts, as tournament creator - I go and remove anyone who is then over the limit that was setup (unless it's not by much - like BKR 1505, etc...) but it is up to the tournament creator if they want them to stay or not.
