How to challenge somebody regardless of the range gap ?

Hello, 

I just invited a friend to join Chess.com in order to play some games - and he did . 

I sent a challenge to him be he cannot start the game because he got a message saying that I don't want to play against players less than 1250 .

 

Why does this limit apply for challenges that I specifically created?

If the only way to start his game is for me to change the range of accecpted rates, how can I do this ? ( I looked but was unable to find ) . 

Thanks for your help .

If you're talking "online" chess (correspondence), it's found in settings.  Even easier, become "friends" and then you won't have to change your settings.  There's a box you can check that says "friends can challenge me no matter what".  So roll your mouse to home>online chess>settings and either check that box or change your setting range.  And no, I wasn't aware it would apply to your own challenges, seems dumb.
