I've seen TDs set a deadline for division changes. The main motivation for that was to have the cards arranged ahead of time to keep things smoother in the morning. But it also seems like a good solution for this problem.
.. I don't think the comparison of saying Katy Perry at kids party = ProDGer on tournament sign ups is even remotely the same thing.
my peeve is signing up for an A-Tier in the Masters Division, sometimes 4-5 hours away, getting there and finding out the locals want to jump into the open pool day of, taking with them the added cash, and making the division kind of pathetic. has happened a lot this year. Don't jump the day of an A-Tier when people travel FAR to play in it. I have left home on Friday with 12 in a division only to have 5 when the horn blows to start the round.
next year I will sign up as open in 90% of the events I play. That will trick the GMs to come out in large numbers, then I will jump to GM the day of and reap the rewards. Now when I pre-reg as a GM they typically stay at home.
Smart move. Sometimes, like in your case, players see a top rated player in their division and decide not to go. I know this happens in the Open division.
Last year a lot of pros played the crush in San Angelo. They told everyone they would be back next year because they had so much fun. Is that enough for the td to put their names up to hold a spot? I'm playing devils advocate but it does make you wonder how many different scenarios could make the td put a big name up instead of it being an outright lie.
Do you have to make up the half (possibly more) of your entry fee in your new division? Because that seems fair.I came up with a suggestion for division jumping... switching after X date means 1/2 your player value stays in the division you registered for. You basically donate half entry plus half added cash to your original division if you jump late.
