Tomato
A player whose rating sits in the red band, at the bottom of the colour scale.
Also known as red player, potato.
The colour scale runs from red through orange and yellow to green, blue and purple. A player in the red band is a tomato, and potato is the same idea applied to a specific play rather than to an account.
It is used more casually than it deserves. Most accounts sitting in red are new, or are one account shared with a family, or belong to someone playing three evenings a month, and the label says nothing about any of that.
