Biggest Upset
An experiment to see how fast a tournament with a minimum 100 games completed restriction would fill up.
This is the forum topic where the restriction was suggested for official tournaments. The intention is to show it is possible to have official tournaments, where the players are in the same range at the end of the tournament as when the tournament started.
Tournament Creation Date: 2009 05 23
Minimum Games Completed: 100
Maximum Timeout %: 10. Same as for official tournaments.
Edit 1: I have set the Max Avg Time/Move restriction, for a player to join, to 6 hours. This hopefully will shorten the length of the tournament to months rather than years, to combat rating changes due to players improving over time.
Edit 2: Players over 1400 rating will be removed when the tournament is almost ready to start.

It is apparent I cannot keep up with players who drift over the 1400 mark.
Only one, ever so slightly, over 1400 now. Let's get started.
Good games to all.
