COVID-19 Rating Incentive
In order to provide an incentive for CFC members to participate in CFC rated Internet events
during the COVID-19 crisis, the CFC has introduced a temporary measure to allow certain players'
Regular ratings to be adjusted upwards if they meet specified criteria during the period 1 April 2020 to 1 April 2021.

Players who play a minimum of 10 CFC rated games between 1 April 2020 and 1 April 2021
and who attain a Quick/Active rating that is 200 points higher than their Regular rating will have their Regular
rating increased by 200 points.
The minimum time control for qualifying events is 25 minutes per player including increments. The total time
is calculated based on a 60-move game, for example 15 minutes per player plus a ten-second increment.

The COVID-19 rating incentive can only be earned once per player.
Only paid-up CFC members are eligible for this incentive.
The new Regular rating cannot exceed 2000.

It will not be necessary for players to apply for the COVID-19 rating incentive. It will be done
as part of the regular rating process.
