Setting up your tournament with the correct skill level selection is important and will insure your players are able to correctly select the events they wish to participate in. Below are the available options and what each option means:
And Under
This means that a player will be eligible starting form the HIGHEST rating available within 3.0 and below. In the example above, this means that a player with a 3.49 rating will be included in this event, since a 3.49 rating is still 3.0 until it hits 3.50.
And Above
This means that the lower skill level starting point for this example is 3.00 and anyone rated higher than this will be able to play.
Only
This means that only players within the listed skill level will be included. In this example, only 3.0 players are able to sign up which would include players rated from 3.00 starting to 3.49 since 3.5 starts at 3.50.
To
The "To" option means that players from the lowest point in the starting rating to the highest point in the ending rating are included. In this example, players starting at 3.00 (lowest ins 3.0) up to 4.49 (highest in 4.0) are eligible to sign up.
Commonly used skill levels and their ranges
The most commonly used ratings for tournaments are 2.5 up to 5.0. Below are the ranges used for those:
