Limit ratings on Team Matches?

    The number of members on team Ghana is growing slowly, however most of our highly rated players especially >1800 are inactive and don't often take part in team matches. This is not good for our world league rating because most of the teams we play against have players >1800.

    I suggest that until we have more highly rated active players, we should limit the ratings of some team challenges to <1600 or <1800 and only accept challenges with the same limitation.

    I think this way, we can win more group matches. I need to know how many players agree and if anyone has any other suggestions.

    may seem unfair to the >1800 players but the last time we had a highly rated player take part in a Team match was on Feb 5, 2011 against Team Sri Lanka. All the players from Sri Lanka had ratings >1800 and we had only two for that game, we lost anyway. I know most of them are busy with work and that's ok but we need to win more games. We don't have to limit the ratings for every single match, just compromise until we have more >1800 players.
