I dont know why the rating was asked at the signups.
The matches are incredibly unbalaced and this leaves everybody with a very bad impression of the organization. I know that you cannot match up all the 2k guys against each other since the competition we lose interest in the end. But come on its not that difficult to make it like 2k guys play against weaker guys but within their grasp 1850+
Now what do we get?
Rooks get matched up against 2k wich gives no motivation neither to the rook nor the expert.
The rook knows that there is not point in playing (since playing against a 1900+ leaves him without a chance even if he exceeds himself and then the recorded game will not be good to watch except for a BO)
The expert will get a boring game, and will not allow him to practice vs the other big guys.

Here are some examples
Vagabond_Lion (2150) vs King_Carlos (1600)
CSI_Aetius (2000) vs Ian_Koratsky (1536)
Im 1700 and got matched vs a 1875
Nice huh?
Thanks but no thanks, ill stick with the mfo tournaments. They are hard but at least there is a point in playing.
Regards.
