In contrast to many tournaments, which include as many as possible in the pool of eligible players, this is exclusive in that most players are not eligible.

The idea is that after 100 completed games players should have fairly stable ratings. Although not guaranteed, players who advance in this tournament will be more likely to still be near the rating they started with.

Players much over 1500 will be removed at the start. I will make an executive decision about who to remove when the time comes. To ease this decision the upper limit for registering is 1475 not 1500.

Older Exclusive Offset tournaments: 701-1100 and 1101-1300.

Older tournaments with similar conditions: 1001-1400, 1401-16001601-18001801-20002001-2200.
