Hi guys, a little opening idea, what I'd like to see and how to achivie:

I think it would be great if any player could join any anonymous games within his/her league. I think it's nobody's interest to play out of his/her leage, newbies get burnt earlier then ought to, diplomats get annoyed and thus leaving the site or playing far less. Losing both newbies and diplomats is an unwanted side-effect I'm sure.

What I think would reach this goal is to implement either reliability rating, or minimum finished games to join, or GR rating to join a game. Bet size hardly helps this.

Also about GR, I think it would be great to modify the calculation script in a way, if there's a bigger spread around GR average of the game, the more qualified player risks more, so he won't do GR-farming, meaning playing only with much lower qualified players and basically winning all the time.

For example if the GR average is 150 pts. of a game, then a 300 rated player should risk more points than he would join a 250 pts. average game which is closer to his league. Meaning players would be encouraged to play within their league, why noobs could get a lot more points joining higher GR games. I think this servers long term objectives and gives the opportunity to everyone to develop with his own speed and not get burnt early.

To do this we should alter GR calculation and also connect GR scores with the site and be able to create games with min/max GR to join.

I'm not saying this is urgent, or anything, all I'm saying, I think this is a good objective and solution which serves this site's long term interest. I'm eager to see other objectives what you guys think is the site's interest and how to reach it.
