Events tab (watching live chess), no Rapid games

There is an Events tab in Live Chess where you can watch games.

When I select "Rapid" it shows me no results.

I expect to be shown the top rated players currently involved in a Rapid game, no matter how low their actual rating is.

Same if I pick a Variant: if there is even one game with that variant being played it should be shown.

There is a very good chance there are no games of that type being played. I just checked Variants and a game showed up but nothing under Rapid.

Nevermind, there is a current Rapid tourney; maybe there is a filter on rating range?

There is often a live rapid tournament going on at the time so I know there are games. They should show the "top" rated games in the category even if they are 1200-rated players.

I think what it is doing is picking the top 'N' games then when you select by type it filters those 'N' games into only those that satisfy the filter, which means none of them get selected if you pick Rapid as almost all the top games are blitz or bullet (which is something I dislike, I want to see more top players playing rapid. It is very popular, as we have seen with Pro Chess League).

In any case, once you pick a filter it should be able to pull in more games

A query something like:

select top @N from LiveGames where TimeControl = Rapid order by Rating desc

ok, not that simple as you may want the higher of white's and black's rating but they already do that to select top games so just change the query with an extra 'where' clause.
