just wondering about tournament scoring
i play almost all my games as a result of tournaments, which i prefer
and i like the thematic ones the most
to enter a tournament, it is based on your tournament entry score
but when played win or lose, the result is based on the current individuals score.
some people by way of holidays or simply leaving their games have a crash in their score
when they play in tournaments, and have a disastrously low score from their crash,
but still can play reasonably well, they invariably hurt their opponents score
perhaps a little unfairly
i realise it's not all about scores, but if in tournaments, the entry rating score was used in lieu of the current score, such unusual conditions of a banded thematic tournament for example from 1500 - 1550 players wouldn't have a player with a score of 1000 playing against them that could just as easily win
as i say - i'm just wondering
