In many rounds, nearly half of the top-10 (or even more) is occupied by unrated newly-registered accounts. For instance, three out of five winners of Div. 2 today were unrated before the round. Since the potential rating of such people is much higher than the maximum Div. 2 threshold, I believe it would be fair to exclude unrated accounts from the official standings table.

One can be 90+% sure that these accounts are not first accounts, but smurfs.

All in all, I think it would be much more interesting to see real Div. 2 participants, who improved enough to achieve high results, among winners in the standings table and round announcements, instead of one-day accounts created by masters and grandmasters.

Only those paticipants who participate in atleast 5 rated rounds will be shown in standing table, it will stop the participation of unrated newly registered accounts:)
