The usual target is "by the start of the British". You can judge, in part, how well it's going. Look yourself up on the ECF grading website and see whether all your results are present and correct.

A better source would be Events Received for Grading, which is updated as events are processed. The ECF grading website is only updated monthly, the last time being 26 June.

There seem to be a handful of league still incomplete, including Essex, Middlesex and Thames Valley. Also possibly a number of internal club games. I don't know the exact time scale between receiving the last result and having the grades ready for publication. That would depend on how long the calculations take and how long is devoted to reviewing the results.

There should be a special prize for the first person to spot the new list (they used to do this sort of thing for the first person to hear a cuckoo in Spring) :D

To ensure fair play, anyone involved in the running of the ECF site would not be eligible.

I'm not sure that the small group responsible have that big an advantage!

The earliest it will be published is Friday. However something usually emerges as we plod through our checks so I have no reason to contradict Richard's estimate.

If members prefer we could delay publication while we co-ordinate a fanfare. Our preference is to get it out as soon as possible given that it is often completed in the early hours of the morning.

Just need to know where to look - but in your case probably look away now... :(

I know my rating will be down - the hazard of only playing 2 or 3 games a year! More interested in my juniors!
