("Association" originally translated to county and now includes regions not recognised as counties).
Some kind of rating record was set in that the results of all the games played in all of the zonals were submitted for rating between the end of the events and the end of February. All of the children without ECF rating IDs at the beginning of the days events had new ratings IDs before the end of the day.
