Losing points to potential superstars
Sort:
Another point being, i join a 1500+ tournament and end up playing 1200 unrated a LOT of the time (:
This is a site system difficulty , unresolved so far....some Directors exclude unrated players,others simply don't bother. Look for competitions where the qualifying conditions include a minimum number of games played for eligibility to join. This helps to avoid some of the mainly merely Empire Builders whom you will come to recognise in time.

Hello Help and Support.
I am currently playing in a LIVE Tournament and have been paired with an opponent MyBabeLuvsMe [0.0] vs. Singhnikhil [0.0] (15 10 rated) (win: 1, draw: -7, loss: -16)not yet rated in Standard Chess.
My concern is that if i lose i drop a huge 16 points even though this opponent MAY be a 2000+ player eventually!
This is a bug in the rating system?
