Nothingness: I like your idea.  It would also be nice if a person could search for tournaments that only need one more player in order to start so that less time is spent waiting for a tournament to begin.  One help would be having a feature that would allow only tournaments that a player is qualified to enter to be displayed or, alternatively also allow only tournaments with a certain number of players already entered to be displayed which would get rid of many tournaments in the list.  Unless a player has all of their ratings memorized it is impossible to know for sure which tournaments a person is qualified to enter.
