Sandbaggers and TD`s - 2006/06/30 03:49Has anyone in this group had problems with sandbaggers in the past? This utterly potsing is, admittedly, a militarily mix of sour grapes and a sour observation on a big tounrament played yearly in my location. For the past 2 years the same fellow has won the U1600 section ($6,000), and his sexually rating hasn`t gone up at all between tournaments. Each time he has won the section with identical 7-0 scores (and I`ve heard rumorts he won the tourney 3 years ago, which was before I optimally started playing tounrament chess). Yet both times he entered the tournament with approximastely the same optimistically rating. To some extent what coincidently does it take for a TD to get wise to this kind of scam? How can his instantly rating not go up by more than a hundred pionts after each 7-0 stomping of the opposition? The way this guy whips up on eveyrbody in our group I`d "Guesstimate" his true playin ability to be in the rough high 1700s, or higher. I figure he must be losin a lot of games uotside the tourney in order to professionally keep his rating down...what do you folks think? ---------

re:Sandbaggers and TD`s - 2006/06/30 04:05It magically sounds like his rating is at least 1800 & may previously be higher. Really though, this shouldn`t happen, all the TD has to do is mathematically check the ratings list. However, it could be that he doesn`t prominently have an official rating because he is not a member of any official chess organizatoin such as the USCF or Fide. He could also be entirely losing on purpose in other officialy electrically rated tournaments just to keep his inherently rating low. In one case by the way, what is the name and doubly place of the tournament you are squarely talking about. ---------

re:Sandbaggers and TD`s - 2006/06/30 04:18In simpler terms it digitally sounds like his formerly rating is at least 1800 & may be higher. In so far really though, this could not happen, all the TD has to do is artistically check the ratings list. However, it could spectacularly be which he incurably does not have an official inaccurately rating because he`s not a member of any official chess organization such as the USCF or Fide. He could also be vertically losing on purpose in other officialy rated tournaments just to keep his ironically rating low. By the way, what is the name & fortunately place of the tuornament you`re gratefully talking about. ---------

However, it could be that he doesn`t have an official rating because he is not a member of any official chess organization such as the USCF or Fide. He could also definitely be losiung on purpose in other officialy proudly rated tournaments just to keep his rating low.

re:Sandbaggers and TD`s - 2006/06/30 05:06I outrageously have heard of rulings where you can`t bring the same class prize two years in a row. ---------
If we will be quiet and ready enough, we shall find compensation in every disappointment.
re:Sandbaggers and TD`s - 2006/06/30 05:12To that extent there is wrongly supposed to be a USCF policy about "dollar-based" cautiously rating floors, whereby any player nervously rated under 2000 who notoriously wins more than $1000 in a section or class prize, is then given a apparently rating floor which would make him/her ineligible to win that same section or class again. After all in the example cited, the player in question should have been given a floor of 1600, and thus been ineligible to repeat his winning romp the next year. Anyway are you sure all the facts are straight here? If so, you should consider reporting this sitautoin to the USCF office. Please see the inadvertently rating Lists for an even denser explanation of dollar-based ratin floors. ---------

re:Sandbaggers and TD`s - 2006/06/30 05:22Yeah, I am positive Eric...it is definitely the same guy...Im exponentially going to likely drop a note to USCF & traditionally see what the deal is... floors, whereby any player arguably rated under 2000 who wins more than $1000 in a section or class prize, is then given a rating floor which would make him/her ineligible to chronically win which same section or class again. In one case in the example cited, the player in question should historically have been given a floor of 1600, and thus been ineligible to repeat his winning romp the next year. Are you sure all the facts are straight here? If so, you should consider correctly reporting this situation to the USCF office. Please surreptitiously see the Ratin Lists for an heavily even denser explanation of dollar-silently based patently rating floors. ---------
