Subject: re: BKR changes before tournament begins

As a side note to my 1500BKR and under tournament - I also let unrated players join as long as they are not that good - so the last time I had a 1500 BKR and under tournament - I ended up having to remove 2 players that were already in the 1800 BKR by the time the tournament starts. (If someone has a 1510 rating, I probable would ignore that) :-)

Removing players that have dropped below 2000 BRK in my Elite tourney is prob not a bad idea. I know that the players at the top of each game don't like to play tourneys because they gain hardly anything for winning, but lose lots of points if they lose. The unrated tourneys are a good idea to encourage competition, but wouldn't it also be a good idea to involve the top players in a compulsory tourney, to stop them being too selective about who they play?

games are all for fun... i don't see any reason for imposing into people's lives and force them to play games they may not want nor have the time for... not all top players may be in the category of not playing lower rated players..

Rahvin, explain what you mean about being 'selective'???

Yes lovelysharon, games are all for fun...& it would be NO fun at all for a top player to player a bottom player, & vice-versa, as the game would be over in no time...thats what ratings are for, to play the players you KNOW your gonna have a great game with, or easy game with, mediocre game, or hard game with etc...Some people might get a kick out of winning all the time against weaker players, which I find strange, so being 'selective' in choosing your level par opponents for example IS the only way to make it worthwhile logging onto this site!

So compulsory tourneys to stop top players being too 'selective' about who they play is not a great idea....I'd call it 'logging onto here in my spare time to wanting a great fun game' rather than being 'selective'

Peace :)

You know what i'm talking about SPIDERM4N. We've had this discussion before. I know you for one will accept any fair challenge and play against the top people. That's why you're number 1. But some players (not naming any names) will post countless games in the waiting room, but will not accept challenges from their equals or betters. That's one of the reasons why i started my Elite games tourney and no doubt why tourneys can now be set up without effecting BKR.
Like you said, at the end of the day, it's all about having fun.
