Please could we have a way of entering tournaments that allows us to enter it but when certain players enter then I am withdrawn
I have to leave it until the last possible moment before I enter to miss these individuals ( They are sandbaggers )
I did this recently with 1 space left and when it starts there they are
I then did something I am not proud of but felt necessary
I played three moves and resigned to make the offending player gain points
Rather than lose points by resigning themselves

The only way to stop people manipulating their clan challenge rating by throwing tournaments is to have exclusive ratings for each competition.
You have a separate club rating so it could be possible I suppose

A different rating for each competition
. In other words. one for Clan challenges , one for Tournaments ,one for Clubs
Why not ?
It would stop one tarnishing the others

As ever, it would have to be down to clan leaders to spot this tactic when mounting and accepting challenges.

Originally posted by vendaYes, let the clan leaders deal with that. At least clan leaders are more aware that this kind of thing can happen. Average players in tournaments might not investigate the people they play as thoroughly, so there should be separate ratings to keep the worst away from those they would try to scam.

If I saw that happening in my clan, that player would be gone the millisecond I figured it out. Any clan leader who lets this kind of thing go on, only ends up hurting their own clan's reputation. I know some don't care, but those clan leaders end up with no one in their clan.
