That wasnt the point steve.
I am referring to if I DID match the criteria.
for example,
If I had a backgammon rating of 2700 and I was ranked #1 and the #2 had a rating of 2400. If someone then put a game in the waiting roon and was sneaky and set if for +2600 rating for example, then it would be only me that would see the game waiting. However, I wouldn't know that it is only me that could see the game, and would not know that it was set up to only be available to anyone over 2600. If I knew this, and also if it had an extra stat there saying for example
*played 100
*against lower rank 1
*against higher rank 99
this would then allow me to judge whether or not it is fair to give this person a chance at extra bkr.
I guess this is the weakness of applying this system to backgammon where a dice roll can beat a good player. In a game with no dice this strastegy is doomed to failure as the low rated player would never beat a 2700 rated player. So take the bg ratings with a grain of salt.
