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 2100 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 2075 not 2100.

Older Exclusive Offset tournaments: 701-11001101-13001301-15001501-1700 and 1701-1900.

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

@ addisondog

Although the maximum number of players is 100, I will start the tournament when it appears there will be no more joiners.

The tournament has only been a few days in registration. Let's estimate 65 registrants. However many register, aim for a latest start date of 14 days from today.

I'm looking forward to this, BUT . . . how many players need to register, before the tournament starts?  If I know more or less when the tournament's about to begin, I'll hold off accepting new games.  Any info would be welcome!  Thanks.
