Yeah great! (Too bad that I just had a higher rating the last 30 days) 😉
But most of the time the mini-tournies are a boost to the rating, because now you have a real opportunity vs "just meat" in the "big" tournies.

Thanks!😀

i hear ya... i was the first one to join the 1250-1274 bracket this morning at a rating of 1260. since then i've gone 5 for 6, rating's currently at 1290, with two more wins a couple moves away... knock on wood...

...make that 7 for 8, with a brand new 1319 rating...

Ai... What a moment to start them now I have just crossed the 1400 barrier again. Sigh.
Now promise to keep them coming on a regular basis, Russ!! One a week?

I didn't know there was any new tournaments. You guys got my hopes up... and... crash🙁:'(

Stupid rating spike!😠

i loveeeeee the mini banded tourneys...

but i also had the problem of just attaining my highest rating ever on this site, and so i had to enter a tournament with players that are probably better than me...
well right now it looks like i'll have a fighting chance since i am currently the highest rated one in the list...

but i was thinking, how great would it be if your average rating over the last 30 days was used to enter the tournaments, instead of your highest rating...... might make for a more even tourney competition... even though it would probably start some other problem.

just thought i would throw it out there and see if anyone agreed

Whoooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Banded tournies all around!!! (except for you high rated guys 😉 (ark13 😛)).

Fred have you been preparing for these tournies by massaging your rating?

You are only cheating yourself you know!

My thanks as well Russ. 😵

Ditto...the banded tourneys give you a chance to play fair games against people roughly your own skill level, and a possibility to up the number of moves a month, making MAP a even harder competition.

Three cheers for Russ!

Hi Russ, just to let you know that you are doing a very good job of introducing the mini bands tournaments. In this way no can complain that they have no chances of winning.

Keep it up and I am looking forward to one very soon.

Regards,
Cliff🙂
