9. 2012-R Crosstables changed to international format (Field/Dénommée)

Moved by Christopher Field, seconded by Pierre Dénommée:

That Crosstables / Tableaux de résultats be posted on the CFC website in the international format, using the symbols + for win, - for loss, = for draw.

Discussion:

This is the format used in all international chess books.

It is readily understood by people who speak any language.

We need to remove the default use of English symbols in this, our BILINGUAL country.

The Swiss Sys software has these symbols readily available for all TDs to use.

Unfortunately, they are referred to as "Math Symbols" instead of "International" or "multilingual" symbols.

The forms which TDs submit for rating could be modified to change the standings to this format, even if the TD has not used it.

I would also like to see an attempt made to update all old results to this format, but I realise that would take some time and expense, so I would start with new events.

This would help to make the French language website more effective.
