How to Solve Coaches Cheating at Nationals
Use peak ratings as eligibility for under sections at nationals.
Children's ratings should not be going down. This solves the problem and is easy to understand and enforce.
While I am very sympathetic to the complaint, I know that children's ratings are sufficiently volatile that this is not, applied blanketly, a reasonable answer..
Reasonable would be to see that this case is sufficiently questionable because of the group of players take as a whole, and to move them to a higher rated section.
