5B7 - NEW MOTIONS-Games Played Outside the CFC (Moved Paul Leblanc seconded Denommee)

[Fred McKim]

I don't think there is any correct way to word this without using FQE, as the "group" has to have a sufficiently established rating system that we are willing to accept it on par with our own.

[Michael Lo]

I am curious about how this works. It will be rated using the player's performance rating in the non-affiliated event? Or the whole non-affiliated event will be rated? If players other than the cfc player requesting to be rated, do we need consent from other players to have them rated? It may have been explained in the cfc handbook. Again, I cannot access the handbook, cfc site is still down.

CFC and FQE ratings are recognized as being equal by most TD. It is possible to rate CFC using the FQE rating of the opponents because those are comparable.

I like this motion and will vote for it.

Usually, FIDE, USCF and FQE ratings are lower than CFC rating. That means, a player likely will lose rating in these events. That means, normally, a player is not suppose to apply for this, unless his CFC rating is too low. Interesting, how many players applied for this last year.

Still want to know how this works.

I don’t believe that anyone has used this provision in the last few years.

Only the requesting player would be rated.

[Michael Lo]

Only the requesting player would be rated.

Vlad, thanks.

[Lyle Craver]

I'm not in favor of this one mostly because I'm not in favor of doing this sort of thing for any rating system other than FIDE.

[Michael Lo]

I am more interested in the possibility of quarterly "updating" the cfc quick rating with reference to the CMA rating. Most tournament suitable for cfc quick rating are junior tournaments. I believe the cfc quick rating is a pool of dead water now. I organize junior tournaments and rate short game tournaments by CMA instead of cfc quick rating. Not that I do not want to use the cfc quick rating, just that the cfc quick rating is too far off from the junior players' real rating that it is a waste of money and time to use it.
