Glicko-2 does not require accounts to start at 12 kyu. So why do we do that?

However, anoek is neck-deep in a time-sensitive and critical project right now, and likely won’t be able to look at this until next year at the earliest I would imagine.

In the meantime I wonder if we can work within the system to get the beginners more ranked games.

You can play ranked games with anyone in a tournament, so how about a tournament series for beginners? We could create them periodically and invite ALL the hundreds of new users.
