How do BYEs on rating work, when do they check your rating?
The morning of the event?
Lets say I have 2 BYEs based on rating that is in DCI right now (Monday morning), and lets say I go and play in a M11 Draft (sanctioned) tomorrow (Tuesday) and lose in the 1st round and due to that lose enough points to go below 1950 total.
Would that change be available by Saturday morning?
I know DCI does not update now until Wednesday of the following week, so by that logic it won't be in the system on Saturday morning yet, but I am not sure if that is what they check during registration at the Grand Prix.
I don't really know but I would think it would depend on how fast your store gets the ratings updated.
I also had a similar question.
If I am above 1950 after Wednesday this week (When they update ratings) and then I play in tournaments Thursday and Friday and i lose point so that I am under 1950, will the rating be updated on Saturday and I won't get my byes?
There is no cutoff for ratings like there is for pro tour invites. Whatever your rating is when you show up is what they use. However the DCI only updates (usually) on tuesdays or wednesdays so if you played at an FNM the night before a Grand Prix you would def be OK
