What is the point of playing among lower rated people for money?

 

For example in pairing among, 1200 vs 2000, statistically 2000 will get 99% score against 1200.

He means a pool where only lower rated players play....but of course sandbagging will be a serious problem in that case.

Unless the site gives out the prize money, how can we trust a low rated "stranger" to handle the fees? ("I promise to give the winner the prize money")

 

This guy just created his account 2 weeks ago and we are to give him fee money? 

I have an account on [another site-- VP] but I started this account on chess.com for organizing here and we only appointing the players on the rating basis so no worry of sandbagging

How come you appointing players on rating basis and not worrying of sandbagging ?

Avatar of wonderkid98

I am appointing in the basis of international fide rating 

That is not easy to sandbag that rating

Hi all we are organizing a tournament worth 120$ for below 1300 fide rated players

1st prize 50$      

2nd prize 40$        

3rd prize 30$

     Entry fee 10$

Only 15 players are allowed

I am organizing this tournament because i am student and i dont even have a good phone to attend my online classes whenever i attending it is very hanging and heating so if you join and play it is a big help for me and you also get good prizes

It's a good idea, and you'll find there actually many clubs offering money for smaller rated players but they are organisations the work you have to do, and then all the cheat detecting you have to have a good engine which you need to pay, basically chess.com is willing to use the money for the big dogs, because people want to watch that, it pays back but for smaller rated players? Unless its pogchamps no one would watch ordinary players versus, meaning no revenue and a loss of money
