I will not take timeouts immediately - but will if my opponent's rating has dropped a great deal or has disappeared for a long time. Also, I often will to play out lost games for the experience and occasional draw. Let me know if this is a problem for you and I will desist. ***************
Tournament Entry Rating is calculated by the formula (CurrentRating + HighestRating) / 2. The entry rating will never drop to more than 100 points below your Highest Rating.
