I love playing in tournaments and when I saw that there were ultra-regular ones for JvH, I was stoked. It's not about winning, but being able to improve.
However, I've just played my last one on BGA. Why? Skill level. The tournaments are open to everyone and there are a few players who are completely dominating (700+ rating for one, and 500+ for the other) which mean that you'll lose every time you play against them. If you meet them in the first round? you're out. If not, you may have a chance, but so far, no go. They're like end-of-game bosses and, well, odds are strong that you'll lose against them.
Wondering why they are allowed in a tournament since other tournaments do limit skill levels to make as good an experience for everyone. I also wonder why they participate in the first place, since they are so dominant.
Well, it was fun, but tired of this...
