Suggestion: New tournament section <2200
As I write this new tread I am still a little under 2000, but if get over 2000, I will be kicked to an open tourney where of course a player over 2400 will win it. I will have no chance. So, if we already have sections for under 1700 and under 2000, why not for under 2200? There will be lots of players in the 2100/2190 range winning tournaments before some of them eventually will also have to go to the (real) GM section. Remember: Calling >2000 a "GM section" is not realistic at all! I am no master, and I certainly will never be a IM, let alone a GM. It makes no sense for me to be kicked to a "GM section" just because my rating goes a little over 2000.

Good Proposal!
I'm also trying to avoid getting over 2000, while would be too hard to make it to the second round!
