It appears if the match started now, the top rated player from Xena would play a low-rated opponent from Close Match.

Yeah, it happens all the time, it's when they register and then get higher rated. It's pretty normal.

Okay ... but still a bug.

1766 vs 1811 is fine. Leaving the 1811 on the top board gives a chance to play. Being placed last she has to be cut.

She won't play at all at that rating-- That's the discard pile at the end of the list, so that you know they're signed up, but they can't play. Once their rating goes down enough, they'll move up to board one.
