In the Auto Tourneys, there is a Tourney for Newbs that has been sitting there forever. It still has just one player signed up. The entry criteria is simply games completed greater than 1 and less than 5.
I contend that by the time any new player to this site has discovered tourneys (took me 5 years) they will have played more than 5 games and no longer qualify (exception being the lone signup for this tourney). This would seem rather discouraging to me if I were a new player with more than 5 games completed and could not play. Even more discouraging if I am the guy who is signed up and waiting for that tourney to start.
That "Maximum" number should be 100.....if not even higher.
