Until a few weeks ago I hadn't played chess in over 10 years... For a laugh I challenged a mate to my first ever online game, & now one month on I'm a chess-aholic! :-)
Anyway, I'm not fussed about ratings - I'm here to learn & just so you know I will fight to the bitter end in tourneys!
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.
