Sigh. It would help if you read my posts more carefully.
It's that the rating change is totally unfair. If I lose to Mr. 1000, I lose 32 points or more. If I win, I get zero.

Entry to [b]banded tournaments should be prevented unless players are within say 100 points of the lower entry limit.
There should be an auto facilitity in place to remove players from unstarted tournaments, if their rating drops below the entry limits.
This should prevent most cases, but will not stop ratings drops after a tournaments has started.[/b]

This only makes dropping games half as effective from days 101-356.
A person can still drop a bunch of games and enter tournaments he should be rated too high for. Someone could still drop from 2000 to 900 and enter 1400 banded tourneys. This really doesn't effect the sandbagging problem at all.

Originally posted by RussI understand the reasoning but feel a sledge hammer used to crack a nut. Bad news as far as I am concerned.
The number of days considered when calculating the "Tournament Entry Rating" has been increased to 365 days, from 100, to help prevent "sandbagging" in tournaments.
The Tournament Entry Rating for every player is available from the profile page, as before.

Huh?
My first post in this thread called attention to the problem of underrated players in high-band tourneys. I have 'admitted' this from the start, since it proves [b]my point.[/b]
It would certainly help in Clan Challenges

If someone's rating is dramatically different to their TER then the system should not allow them to enter banded tournies.
Simples.
