Alternate weekly tournaments for pro and amateur players?

[Jussi Koskela]

Yesterday there were over 160 players in the Wednesday tournament and it was pretty difficult for many players to qualify even once, so I was thinking if we should split the weekly tournaments into:

1. Tournament A, open to all players
2. Tournament B, open to players with rating less than 1000

What do think?

[*]Tournament B, open to players with rating less than 1000[/list]

Of course. You mean that players with rating 1000+ couldn't play in the tournament for players with rating less than 1000. I absolutely agree with that.

I agree with you.

I have now setup separate servers for the pro and the amateur players. This applies to Wednesday, Saturday and Marathon tournaments. The A-tournaments are open to everyone and the B-tournaments open to players with a rating below 1100. We can still adjust the rating limit if the number of players on the servers won't be balanced.

Jussi, I think that Tournament B should be for the rating of 1000, because 1000 points is the starting amount and the number is a good range. In my opinion 1000 -: Tournament B, 1000 +: Pro;]

[Jussi Koskela]

The average rating of all players is 1000, but let's try it with the limit of 1100 first. My reasoning was that since Tournament A is open to everyone it will attract also some players with rating less than 1100. And the best players are always the most active ones. So, a limit bit higher than the average could result well-balanced tournaments.

[Miika Töyräskoski]

if the rating will rise over 1100 during the tournament to continue, or be forced out?

(sorry my bad english)

[Jussi Koskela]

No. The rating limit is checked only when you enter the tournament.

Any comments how the A/B split worked?
At least I enjoyed jumping in Tournament B a lot.
Some players were already suggesting that we should have tournaments in three different levels.
