I want to play in this tournament:
http://www.chess.com/tournament/27th-chesscom-quick-knockouts-1201-1400
But confuse two things:
1. I am guaranteed to be able to make the first move only the 6th of January.
2. Tournament title for the rating of 1200-1400. But there are many registered players with a rating above or below.
1. If you can't make your first move until January 6th, I would suggest waiting until the next iteration of the tournament. I think those come up every other month. That said, I don't see that it is a "no vacation" tourney, so if you are on vacation when it starts, you might be fine, however you are likely to anger many of your opponents who are expecting a move a day.
2. My understanding of the official chess.com tourneys is that the players that don't qualify for a section at the start will be moved to the appropriate sections.
