Masters events - What???

Impressive! I wonder, do they have as many side events as we do? If so, are the side events made up of players from the different divisions?

One problem that currently exists in the USBGF ELO Ratings is the lower divisions get rated 'ELOwise' the same as the OPEN does. Thus, many lower division players have ELO's that are higher than they would be were they playing in the Open division. In fact, many of the highest rated players are from the lower divisions. When we publish the ELO ratings we segregate them into divisions, but it would be difficult to rate the side events because of this inaccuracy in the ELO ratings of the weaker divisions.

How do the other countries, especially Denmark, deal with rating ELOs in the various divisions?
