Can anyone tell me how to organise the invites to a tournament for a club's unrated players ONLY?

I don't think you can. Maybe make invite only and only invite unrateds. Though, by the time it starts, some may get a rating.

I've tried it before. I've set up tournaments with players under 1400 and then gone to the new members section and invited them. Expect a lot of timeouts if you try it that way.

Why would you want to create a tournament of unrated players? I wouldn’t want to join a tournament if I didn’t know its strength.

There is an option to make a daily tournament unrated so it does not affect the players’ ratings.

Many thanks for the feedback. Suppose we were to make it invites only and specify 1 as the maximum rating, would the system then just invite the unrated players?

Yes, it would.

You can't. It won't allow it and you will get an error that the minimum can't be less than 600.

I've also discovered that the minimum ratings interval for any tournament is 50 points
