The Lost Bobby's first sponsored tourneys are accepting entries.
Originally posted by gumbieYou think you are hard done by? I just recently creasted 1800 thanks to some games finishing in a bunch. That puts me into the 1800-2500 bracket with pretty much no realistic hope (I'm still entering) instead of the 1500-1799 bracket which I would have a chance in (and would get to play more games against equal rated people). Of course this also means as there aren't very many 1800+ players it'll be a while before it starts.
Why has the first banded sponsored tournament got such a ridiculously small max player limit the majority of players on the site are between 1200 and 1499 and only 30 can play?!?!? 🙁
But oh well. Gift horse, mouth and all that rot.
Good on you Lost Bobby's and I look forward to the tourney.

Originally posted by AikoThe current Lost Bobby's members have volunteered to donate. Don't worry they are reliable. At least, my goon squad will help them to be reliable 🙂

you should try to hack someone who plays in the <1200.
Originally posted by XanthosNZWell, Jira entered the 1500-1799 (just like the Beta Banded 8x8 1400-1599) so not much chance there either. God I hope that some sort of rating-floor will be implemented to prevent these people from entering banded tourneys.

To clarify, I mean in this Lost Bobby's tourney. As i know it happens a lot.
This thread is not for discussion of the moral issues around this, I would just like to know if anyone has noticed any other player in THIS tourney.
The moral issues can be discussed on "neight's" thread

NicolaiS 1300-1400 until January.
marcof2 1600 in November.
Those two stand out the most to me.
Oh and the 4 provisionals (one of whom hasn't even played 5 games and who knows how good he is...).
All,
I have politely requested that the relavent people withdraw from the tourney. Where the tourney has already started, I have requested the relavent people to at the least get the feedback of those that they are playing, and resign from the games if so requested.
I will not take it any further (even if I could), and I leave it up to their conscience.
Before anybody falls completly over me for entering a banded tournament <1200. My rating is indeed <1200 due to timeouts. before anybody makes asumptions about why that happened ... well ... its none of your business.
My rating in Januari was indeed about 1300-1400 ... and now its 935. My current level of play isn't 1300-1400 if you take the time to look at my most recent match: http://www.redhotpawn.com/core/playchess.php?gameid=1033612
Thats the reason why I joined a tournament <1200 ... my level of play isn't 1300-1400 but I hope that I will be able to play again at that level after a slow return to chess.
