Tournament players

Was watching the Classical tournament tonight with Jerry from ChessNetwork playing. A bunch of the top players in the tournament had ? next to their rating. They were eventually removed. No tournaments should allow players with not enough games in. A bunch of these were cheaters. What a waste.
Me too, but this could be seen as going against the "all features for everyone" approach of lichess. It's quite a generalisation because this assumes that all new players entering tournaments will cheat.... but yes, the number of "new cheaters" is quite high.

Also, what's to stop the cheaters from playing 21 games and THEN joining the tournaments? (if this idea is implemented). Good idea though.
Daily, weekly, monthly and, I assume, yearly tournaments already have a minimum amount of games you must have before joining. I don't think it's a good idea to implement this for all tournaments.
