I subscribed to RHP (yay!), entered the KID tournament and then withdrew because I don't know how fair it is to the other players. What is everyone's take on a provisional (whose rating is a fair bit higher than p1200) entering tournaments before at least 20 games? I have no problem waiting until my given rating better reflects, I mean, I don't want to sandbag any points or anything. Any input will be appreciated.

Also, when I joined I joined a MOAK tourney... I finally got knocked out THIS YEAR... so...
If you want to join, go ahead (It's not a BANDED tourney, right?)
What group size is it?
I say either way you do the right thing, it's up to you.

How do you know your rating is "a fair bit higher than p1200" ?
Question 2. What rating does that mean?

Originally posted by PhlabibitIt's a King's Indian Defense open tournament, and I got some positive "go for it" responses in another forum, so I jumped back in the tournament. wheee! It's my first RHP tournament so I don't know exactly what to expect so I will just wait and hopefully names will appear in the "my games" section to tell me who/when to play. It's an open tournament, not banded; I realize that joining a banded tournament while underrated would be very unfair to other entrants, so I will not join one of those for a long time.

The group size is 12-24 and it's called a "split" tournament.
