The category of the tournament is based upon average rating, not titles(though titled players do have to participate). You said "roll over a "bunch" of IM players" to get the title i said "In swiss system >>tournaments fritz could get paired against almost all 2300-2400 opponents" 2300-2400 is exactly what IMs for the most part are rated!
