Tournament 10090

Take a look at the final quad there is a 1600+ player in a 1300-1350 banded tournament that just started. It seems very fishy since I thought the lowest your tournament rating could go is 100 below your 365 day high?

I just figured it out he took exactly 1-year off got his tournament rating down and reloaded. Odds of him winning this banded tournament are hig I would suspect.

I am more interested about his funny graph with 100+ rating points jumps up and down.

I've asked about it, I've feed backed, I've written a mail directly to Russ. But no response - yet - mayby never.

Yeh I saw that also and knew someone on here was onto that topic also.

Did you look at my post in Thread 131730?

Once again, the strange part of the graph comes in a sequence of games that all ended on the same day. All the examples I looked at were tournament games ended by timeout. I strongly suspect they all ended at exactly the same time and that the graph-drawing module cannot retrieve them in the correct order.

Wonder what name he played under during his year off?

Most tourneys, yes. There are the rare non-sub tournaments.

Sad, isn't it? Someone capable of a 1700 rating is so desperate for respect that he sandbags his way into a tournament for 1300 players. "King of the kids" is a phrase that comes to mind. Makes one wonder if that 1700 rating has been honestly earned.
