Not exactly. If your country know that you are at the same level as 2600 players then they can put you in the first board of the olympiad and you do not need to play against strong players with low rating . It does not happen in Israel and they use only rating to decide about the order of the boards. They do not ask players how much computer time they can use for the tournament in order to consider the information for their decisions. Uri
