Banded Tournament Cheats

I'm not talking of people who have improved over the course of entering a tournament....or who end up with a better rating because the play well in the tournament.

ok then I couldn't agree with you more. Surely the answer is simple, it must be possible somehow (Russ?) to stop players entering tournaments where they have been historically more than (say????) 100 points above the band (excluding the first few games as in the early days ratings change rapidly.
