OK, looking at the division breakdown, I don't understand why the amount of non-restricted division spots is so low.

My son, Isaiah, is rated the same as me (about 915), though his true skill is probably 20 -30 points higher than his rating at this point. His division (intermediate) is already one away from being full before sign-ups start. He would be willing to play advanced too, but can't register for it yet due to ratings caps. Whereas I, because I am an old fart, can still register for the intermediate or advanced but also have age restricted divisions open to me (AM 50 or 40).

Isaiah could play juniors, but doesn't like to because it feels bad beating up on the other kids, it's not sporting. In the other tournaments he's signed up for he plays AM2, and in CVS plays AM1 and cashes already.

He is 12, so obviously no one expects him to be a hole sponsor, but it seems that is the only way to get into intermediate for this tourney (save maybe one person who gets in in the first 15 seconds).

I noticed this this same thing at Otter Open and Masters Cup too. Why should it be so much easier for me to get into a tournament just because I'm old?
