Who is allowed to join a tournament?
Anyone can join a tournament as long as you meet the critera for the tournament you are joining. Tournament Directors have the ability to change the criteria on a per tournament basis, but the default criteria is given below:
- Must have completed at least 5 games of turn-based chess on Chess.com.
- Must have at least a 10% win ratio.
- Must have no more than a 10% timeout ratio.
I think it's completely unfair that there are people rated well over the 1400 limit, that can enter that tournament as their ratings only went over the thresshold after they registered. It should be that if you are over the rating criteria once the tournament starts you are excluded.

You have commented in a thread about a member-created tournament. In such a tournament others have stated that they were removed.
In a chess.com tournament there is a different process for the out of range players. erik has recently added this to the 1201-1400 tournament writeup: "Players who's ratings move beyond the rating range of this tournament will be automatically moved to the correct tournament section when the event begins."
See http://www.chess.com/tournament/2nd-chesscom-tournament-1201-1400
Thanks for pointing that out :) I didn't read the write-up properly.
sign up for the "Never Boring" Tournament if you are rated 1400 or lower.
