I believe there is a minimum already. And if not, why? There is already a minimum of 3 months on the site I believe.

No, there is not a minimum games played currently and the time minimum doesn’t mean anything if you don’t play.
In another site you need a minimum 20 games played before enter an Arena tournament. I agree.

How do you know? Any chess.com club tournament can have any set minimum
A dude in the most recent UTT had no games played before the tournament
That caused a rating influx and stuff so people lost more/gained more/lost less, etc.. that they should have gained/lost

his rating fluctuated wildly, but everyone else’s rating changed the amount it should
No because let's say he is 2200 strength and was 1800 and beat a 1900
The 1900 still loses the points he lost if he faced an actual 1800

So they lose 2 more points, is that really worth restricting players from playing?
oh well that’s being underrated anyone can be underrated
It also messes with the swiss format

I mean if they won a few games, due to it being his first games, he would be 1900 but on another website, let's say Lichess is he is a 2500
?
you can have played 20000 games and be underrated or have a high glicko
Eh forget it
I can't explain what I wanna say
The minimum 3 months requirement becomes meaningless if you make an account and don't play any games with it.

(~2300) FizzyBand lost to the person in question who was rated 1800 at the time which costs him 16 points, if the player's actual strength is considered (~2450), Fizzy would have lost 5-6 points, so yeah 10 points makes a big difference.
Sandbagging is wrong in general.... it doesn't matter how you do it.

Sandbagging is lowering your rating intentionally, that rating was never lowered.
I'd like to propose a new rule where you have to have played x (maybe 50?) blitz games before being allowed to participate in Untitled Tuesday. I was wondering what everyone else thinks.
