Strong player can host tournament for Ave and Good players????

Post by NoPainNoGain_777 »

Just saw a new tournament where a strong rated player with > 400 ELO created the tournament but was able to limit participation to good and average players.
For regular tables you cannot exclude your own level. I guess there are still loopholes in the system if you want to try to improve the odds of winning....

Ahah it’s funny that it's this player, he blocked all the top players to don’t end up against us in Arena Games. I'm not surprised that he found new ways to farm elo, but yes it’s defenetely a loophole, and you're sure that if there is others loopholes, this player will found them.

Apparently it goes both ways. There is another tournament for "Strong and above" players and a "Good" player managed to join. Looks like the filter is not working very well

I think invitations can ignore filters. They can even ignore red thumbs in normal tables

That player was a personal invite. However you only need to be a strong player at the time of registration. Once you have successfully registered, you are in. The tournament doesn't kick you out if you go on a terrible run of form before the tournament starts.
