Players with less than 25 games are provisional, their ratings mean nothing until they complete 25 games (did you see the 'p' right after the rating?).


if 2200+[p] could play a elite tournement for which only condition for playing is to have 2200+,then i think that "just a game" matters.'P' in that case really means something,to me it serves as indicator of an insult rather than in its actual meanings.

Well, sakhan, I must agree with you so far as to say that perhaps provisionally-rated players have kind of watered-down the "Auto-Elite" tournaments recently - some entrants have ratings based on only one or a handful of games. One thing that could be done is to only allow new players to enter class tournaments after they have completed a number of challenge (not tournament) games, maybe five or ten. Some other sites do this.

An improvement to the tournament system is long due, I couldn't agree more. I'll get there. :-)

It would be nice thing to implement this but it may happen that the rate by which the members r increasing gets effected.
