In Response To: Dealing with sandbaggers (Rich Munitz)

Rich said: "I would estimate that the bottom 20% of a typical Championship draw should be permitted to play Intermediate if they were so inclined. By the same token, the top 5% of the typical Intermediate draw is probably players that are sufficiently strong that they should not qualify to play Intermediate at all. "

After speaking to Rory (he's a got a good sales pitch) I am considering going to the Chicago event in May. I am an advanced/expert player by XG standards. I would play Open (I am a high intermediate player). If I play Open for this one event, I assume I can later fall back to the division I likely belong in at a future ABT event - even if on some small chance I cashed (not likely but always possible with very good luck)?
