g4, you are correct, if that guy is self-rated, then that would not be a strike. So, it looks like he got strikes on match 1, 2, and 4.
Seems to me that that self-rated player is about as much a sandbagger as your friend who got DQ'd.
Gameboy, turns out the DQed guy had a "D" rating and not a "S". He didn't get enough matches in last year to have a "C" rating, but he was still DQed. I barely know the guy, so were not really friends, but we were co-workers.
He must have self-rated in 2008 or 2009, then didn't get a "C" rating at the end of the year, as he didn't play enough matches. Unless you have a "C" or "B" rating, you are still vulnerable to a DQ.
