I ran my first tournament today, and fortunately, it went by very smoothly.
I’m trying to submit the tournament online. Unfortunately, there is one person with a performance rating that is more than 500 points above his current (provisional) rating. His rating was 222, based on 7 games. He had a bye (where he played me (USCF 1513) in an extra rated game), lost to a 1048, and beat a 484. From that, his performance is a 766 if the game against me does not count, and a 882 if it does count towards the performance rating. Both of these are more than 500 points above his rating of 222.
Since it’s probably no big deal that he beat a 484 and lost to two people that are respectively rated 1291 and 826 points higher that he is, is there any way to override the error created when a performance rating is over 500 points higher than the current rating?
Also, one last thing…the extra rated game I played with the 222 rated person in round 1…was I correct to add a section to the tournament called “Extra rated gms,” then add the two players to the section, then write the result in round 1 (when the game occured) and then withdraw both players for the last two rounds? The crosstable looks like this:
Me W2 U— U—
Him L1 U— U—
Thanks,

P.S. This is what part of the alphabet would look like if Q and R were eliminated.

If you go back to the crosstables, there will now be a small box around the persons name and ID number. Just click on it to override. You will have to do this with performance and if the person is from a different state, ect. That will take care of the problem.
The form found an error rather than a warning. There is no override box. If performance is over 600 points below rating, then the TD can override the warning. I did that once in this particular tournament. However, when someone performs more than 500 points above their real rating, then the form won’t let me override it…
I don’t see any problem with 222 beating 484 and losing to both 1048 and 1513, but the form won’t let me submit it because his performance rating is more than 500 points above his current rating.
Assuming I found the right event (Wolfpack Open), the error isn’t on that player, it’s on player #10, the one with no ID and no playable games.
Errors like that are sometimes easier to see using the online edit form.
It appears you really only had 9 players in that section.
Right now there isn’t a way to delete an extra pairing #, there probably needs to be a way to do that for errors like this, but that’s not going to happen for a few weeks.
The workaround at this point is to use the ID 25000000 for player #10. That’s also an ID you can use for any no-shows who don’t have a USCF ID and didn’t play any games.
In your extra games section you could have had it as just 1 round, but what you did should work fine.
