I didn't even know they were coming out yet till my club captain emailed me with them - least I've made it into 3 figures this year :roll: :lol:

Has your excitement worn off yet, Joey?

And yes - congratulations Jon. I know the feeling of reaching three figures, having managing it myself last year. Good job!

Well I am not quite as excited about my rapid rating - I had a 190+ performance at your oxford tournament and another at one of Adams as well as my first place at chipping sodbury (which must have been worth about 220) but my rating has gone unchanged. I would have expected to increase a little bit there, but it seems as though many peoples rapid ratings have not moved and I wonder if they have done the calculations yet or if they are going to be added soon in another update.

I don’t think the ECF rapid ratings have been done yet, I certainly played enough games to get a grade this season, but so far I remain ungraded as I didn’t play any the season before.

My mate has ended up with a YCA rapid grade of 160 just for loosing twice to Richard Palliser :shock:
