Ratings
Ratings simply provide a way for players to compare themselves against all other chess players in Canada.
It represents an excellent way to stimulate young players new to the game of chess.
There are two rating organizations within Canada which 'rate' the results from tournament play. These are:
The Chess'n Math Association out of Montreal is
responsible for maintaining the 'Scholastic' rating of all school aged players,
Grades K through 12 playing in 'Scholastic Tournaments', while the Chess
Federation of Canada is responsible for rating all 'CFC Tournaments' which
accommodates chess players of all ages. Players not on either of these
sites, then you have not played in a 'rated' tournament.
As implied above, not all tournaments are rated. It
is generally up to the organizers of a tournament to decide whether to have
their tournament rated or not. To get a tournament rated by the
Chess'n Math Association (Scholastic Rating)
contact us. Once results are
submitted, the new rating are posted usually within a few days on the site of
either the Chess'n Math Association . For information about Chess Federation of Canada ratings, contact the NL Chess Association (NLCA)
