First a precisation:I don't want to bother someone,I'm only asking .
how can two players be both in New server lower and mid tournaments?Is it correct?you can enter with different ratings?Thanks for replying....................
A tricky one but obviously this players rating either dropped/increased under/over the relative thresholds thus enabling him/her to enter both tourney's, and quite legally I would think?

Originally posted by fawcr01Actually there are two players who have entered both tourneys. Lazerblue and Cheshire Cat, but they are both still not the highest ranked in the lower, in fact C.Cat is in the correct level whilst LazerB is only two points over. Certainly nothing that warrants criticism and to their credit both have elected to stay and 'box outside their weight' in the mid tourney.
Skeeter's right. Your rating is only checked when you actually ENTER the tournament. So the player could have entered the mid tournament, then had a bad run of games meaning their rating went down, then entered the lower tournament.

BTW, Ravello how are you managing YOUR game load these days? Hmmmmm??

However, what do you want to say about my games managing?I didn't criticise your,so don't criticise mine.
I was wondering the same thing. Having completed 4 games I entered the lower tournament (<1300) when my rating was p1200. Fine, although for some reason it ranked me first?!?
After my fifth game my rating went to p1521, and so I entered the mid tournament. No problem.
But I was uncomfortable with the number of games (@ 1 day T/O) I would have to play and withdrew from the lower tournament.
But I guess that if someone wants to play in two tournaments simultaneously there is nothing wrong with that. How your ranking changes subsequent to entry is immaterial. Also, the fact that there is a lower-mid-upper tournament running simultaneously is also immaterial.
As long as you qualify for a tournament at the time you enter, c'est la vie.
But maybe what could happen is that only one tournament is set up that everyone can enter, and when entries close, the entries are then split into three groups based on their rank at the time of closure.
