Begginers and Apprentices Tournament

[Red River]

I'd love to host a tournament for begginers and apprentices but those are invite only. So, anyone interested in participating in something like this just DM me and, when I have enough people, I'll set it up and invite you.
Unless I get several requests to a specific tournament type, I'll be using the Swiss system.
My goal is to create a friendly tournament that allows you to meet a number of Verdant enthusiasts, get better at it with others around your level and hopefully exchange some tips.
Let me know if you're interested

Hello,

You need 100 ELO to enter tournaments for a good reason.

It helps preventing beginners to enter tournaments and never play or abandon after first loss and therefore ruin your tournament.

I agree that's a good rule of thumb to have. But if someone has to DM someone to be invited they'll probably think twice about it, instead of just clicking "register" on a whim. Also, pretty much anyone can abandon the tournament, regardless of their ELO score, so I don't really think this is a good enough reason not to do it. But I agree that it's something to keep in mind and perhaps I could rethink the system I use: for example, using the Robin system instead so that, even if some players don't play or leave, you can still play with everyone else.
I just wanted to create a friendly space where new players could feel part of the community and help each other raise their ELO scores a bit, instead of being paired randomly with players who are sometimes much more advanced.
