It is apparent that the tournaments prior to commencing are not involving the proper rating of players before starting the tournament.
Case in point: Alpha Banded 3x3 1500 - 1599
Why the following players accepted - DigitGus:1639, ROOMS2004: 1464, Paul0:1423??
These players are taking a spot for the players who wish to play in the tournament but cannot with the proper rating.
Can you do anything about this?

I believe that their ratings were between 1500-1599 when they signed up. They may have finished games that have raised or lowered their ratings. I have the same problem in the Alpha Banded 3x3 1700-1799 tourney. 😏

Why would Digitgus enter that tournament? Before allowing himself to be timed out repeatedly he was rated in the high 1800's. Surely this is a breach of etiquette.

I see and understand this now by looking at thier profiles. Except Paul0 has never been above 1500. This similiar issue appears to been on the same thread as per provisionals playing in tournaments.
Something should be done so that it is fair for all players.
ie if a player had the proper rating within the last 3 days before a tournament started, then they should be able to play in the tourney. But if the guidelines say no provisionals or a player has never achieved the proper rating for a tourney why do they get accepted?
Right now I cannot play in this tourney due to Paul0 taking a spot. Nothing against Paul0, RHP just needs to fine tune some issues.

I agree. It's pretty much virtual sandbagging, but I also figure, that if he wants to see that tourney under his tournament wins that bad, then I guess you should let him have it.
