Subject: Under-1900 or under-2000 section in tournaments?

Message:
Being a player who is mostly in the 1700s and occasionally low-1800s, I find the GK tournaments a frustrating experience, because I stand absolutely no chance against the players rated 2000+, who will always win their group.

I would like to see an additional section between the current Advanced (<1700) and Expert sections, with a cutoff of 1900 or 2000.

Does anyone else agree? Do the GK people read these forums?

Cheers
Tony

I agree...

Message:
This has been suggested a few times before, and I agree - they added an 'advanced' section a while back, (starting in the 22nd tournament), but now they seem 'deaf' towards this suggestion...

I agree too

I am bascially in the same position. I am typically rated in the low to mid 1700's.

I've made this suggestion,

Message:
directly to GK, to no avail, I'm afraid. I'm not sure what the drawback would be from their perspective.
