When are Advanced Players No Longer Advanced

At what point should Advanced players no longer be allowed to play Advanced. Seems to me after 4 or 5 firsts or seconds (at most) but what do others think. To allow them to continue to play doesn't seem fair to other Advanced players.

I realize often it isn't so much a matter of sandbagging as that the entry fee for the Open is more than twice Advanced. Maybe there should be a "half entry" in the open for players that have newly moved up - sort of an anti-sidepool.

Thoughts?
