Does that make sense?

As the 1800+ is the right level for you then you should be playing in an 1800+ tournament...would it be possible to make the maximum number of points your opponent could lose (and that you could gain) equivalent to them losing to a player at the lower end of the tournament band - 1800 in our example.
