Upper/lower sections for April 6 arena

The next arena is coming up, Monday 5pm. This time we're going to try having upper and lower sections, so players can have more games against opponents at similar levels. 

Upper section: players with a blitz rating of 800 or above go here: Lincoln 800+ Arena: April 6

Lower section: players with a blitz rating of 900 or below go here: Lincoln U900 Arena: April 6

Players in the 800-900 range can choose either section.

Finally, because the chess.com ratings are approximate for new players, if a player feels strongly that they belong in a different section than their score indicates, but their score does not reflect that, they or their guardian can get in touch with one of the admins (karir77 = Kári or WolfeG = Dawn) and we will advise. (The common scenario for this is a pawn or knight starting out with a default rating of 1000 points which would stabilize around 700 after some games.)
