I don't think it's that the pairings are broken, but the system will try to pair you with someone of near rating, but if no one is available due to being in a match within a period of time, it will just pair you with the best available option.

Calling a 1000 rated player "not a real player" is a little insulting, especially since they're probably watching. I get that it's not what Hikaru meant but that's how it sounded.

SINCE rating brackets are in increments of 400 performance rating points, if Levy were to keep scoring 9/10 in tnmts like he just played, ie., with the avg ELO of 2230, then a perfect score of 10/10 would give him a performance rating for that tnmnt of ELO 2630. Even getting just 9/10 would give him (9/10) x 400 or 360 performance rating points or 2590. IF he were to keep doing this, he would get his ELO over 2500 easily without ever having to play in GM dominated tnmts. This if he makes the norms, he would have the rating to qualify as GM as well
