Don;t trust it, maybe it's just me and the heady mixture of my own incompetence allied with the settings button ... I set for '2000 rates invited' and I get a weirdo rated 1700..deleted I throw it back and the ongoing lottery provides me with a 1300 but appears normal enough..I grabbed it thinking I'm indeed fortunate... rarely do they work according to plan lol..
Originally posted by RevRSleekerIf you use the advanced options settings correctly when creating an 'open invite' game, there is no way someone can accept your game invitation unless their rating is within the limits you specify.

Provisionals apparently cannot accept rating-specified open invites at all. I want to play p1200s (to encourage newcomers to stick around) but if I put p1200 in the game name I almost always get someone who isn't a p1200. So how else can I get games with newcomers to the site?
Maybe you could make a suggestion in the "site ideas" forum to expand the Open Invite advanced options to allow setting the rating limits to include provisional rated players as well.
