2nd CWC Sign-Ups

@FischyVishy
Hey bud, I have noticed some who just signed up has not even one game of zh in their accounts. I would suggest, if possible, to set a new rule which says before the start of the first match of knockout, every player must have played at least 15-20 rated games.
As it already is in weekly/monthly tournaments on the site. So that everyone has an idea of everyone else's strength. In particular the guy who faces an unrated player will face some disadvantage speaking of preparation pre-match.
Besides, if the knockout is based as it was last edition, then you will need a specific rating to pair players.

Moreover, I was already annoyed last year about people playing with alts, because I believe it's somewhat unfair to not know who am I playing against. Always in terms of preparation pre-match and then just the pure fact that I know who is my opponent, is important to me.
If the choice of using a second account is related to preferences of the owner in playing the game in some crazy mode or to experiment strange openings...I accept and respect everything, but if the intent is to be under cover only for this event, then sorry but that's pretty unfair.

Thus I would kindly ask you to think about these two requests of mine and let everyone know your response. Thanks
I would like to join, i can not seem to locate date and time which might be a issue for me.

-Thank you again for putting this on.
