Tournament 1013
07 Apr '07 23:30Originally posted by DawgHausProblem is that in a tournament with large group sizes it is likelt the player who tops the table will go well above the band limits. Should he/she be penalised for winning? What players would do of course is make sure they stay within the band by losing open invite games.
I wish they'd allow some way of allowing stronger players to bow out of Banded tournaments gracefully. I joined a number of Banded tourneys when I first joined and didn't know much about how tourneys worked. Now I really don't belong, and I'm far from the only one. I could resign games, of course, but that makes me uncomfortable and that's not really a p ...[text shortened]... he high rating was due to computer assistance; but the above idea would work regardless.
08 Apr '07 19:07Originally posted by jayaitchThat's why the cutoff would be well above the upper limit. It wouldn't penalize anyone whose average performance is within the original band. Most steady players do not have ratings that fluctuate by hundreds of points - only those that are a) rapidly improving or b) quite underrated to begin with. These are the groups that don't really belong in a Banded tourney.

11 Apr '07 12:50Originally posted by DawgHausThe idea is interesting, my main problem with it is that anyone who is at a lower skill level could easily improve in the time that it takes for a second round to start. For this reason, I think the idea of allowing them to bow out gracefully would be nice, but forcing them out because they studied tactics for 15 minutes per night seems unreasonable (a 1300 player who did this would easily move out of their band in any tournament with a timeout longer than 1 day).
Heh. Fair enough, zeb. What's your opinion of this idea?
BTW I subsequently posted this over in the Site Ideas forum.
