Mixing the tournament bands up

The tournaments tend to have the same bands from one set to the next. While 200 is a great range, why not mix it up...

Current set...
1000-1199
1200-1399
1400-1599

Next set...
900-1099
1100-1299
1300-1499
1500-1699

And then...
950-1149
1150-1349
1350-1549

The point is that by mixing the bands up a bit, most players will get a chance at being on the higher end of a tournament. Plus, it will allow players to play a greater range of rated players while still in the comfort of a banded tournament.

Of course you are assuming that your rating remains static🙂 Nonetheless, I like the idea.
