How to create an open challenge?

Hi I have been wondering how to create an open challenge for it to go on the charts. I also can’t see anybody above 1k on open challenge chart. I have played like 300 games of rapid about so the website should know I’m not a bot. Please help.

You can't really control that. If you create a Custom challenge and it's not quickly paired, it will show up on Open Challenges for another member to accept.

You'll also only see challenges that match both your and the challenge's seek settings.

Is there any way to make it an open challenge to start with?

All challenges are open but will be automatically paired if there's someone else looking for a game at that time and all seek parameters match.

The only way to guarantee to get on the graph for any extended amount of time, is to choose a non-standard time control.

Thanks, but why am I not seeing any players that are above 1k?

Either your seek settings filter them out or theirs filter you out.
