I suggest that anyone with more than 40 posts should not be allowed to participate in the tournament: D
They've written so many posts, they're not exactly newcomers anymore.)
In my opinion, Rmax is still a novice because, in addition to the time spent online and on the portal, he also plays relatively weakly due to a lack of experience (for example, he may have been registered on the portal for a long time but plays infrequently due to work, family, etc.), and he plays for fun. His skill level may not improve because he doesn't have a strong desire to become better at the game, and his focus is on protecting his "front and rear" rather than on the game itself. He plays to relax and have fun (and he's not slow-witted:smile27:).
But he still has the spirit of competition. He may not be a novice online and may have already participated in tournaments, but he hasn't improved. So why shouldn't he play in the tournament again if his skill level is the same as that of "newcomers"? :smile26:
Rmax - Kinb says that he hasn't reached the level of a novice yet, while Kash says that someone has already surpassed that level. So, does being a novice also depend on the skill level, and not just the time spent on the portal and online?
I'll try to explain so that there are no questions. Participating in a tournament is an official declaration to compete according to established sports principles with players who meet the established status. The tournament organizer must announce the status, rules, and deadlines (and there will be no questions). If there is a competitive spirit, make the tournament the way you want and participate. If you participate in a tournament that you want to set up according to your own rules, that's not the right approach.
