I lowered my bullet rating. cant I join the rating tournament now?

There is -2000 and +2000 tournament. Since I usually are between I cannot play either. Who was the genius who left out players rated 2000-2200?
I can also mention that this was a deal breaker when I thought about donated again.
What you did was sandbagging, which is not permitted on Lichess.
Also, there are no -2000 bullet tournaments, nor any bullet tournaments with a maximum rating limit. The only bullet tournament with a rating criteria is the elite +2200. Perhaps you are thinking of the blitz or classical tournaments, for which there are U2000 and U1600 categories.

Plus I think you meant to write "there is -2000 and +2200", rather than "there is -2000 and +2000".

So much confusion.

Finally, I would suggest that playing in the open tournaments is more enjoyable because of a much greater number of players - the ratings limited tournaments usually have far fewer participants so pairing can be quite slow.
