I'm looking forward to hearing about the barriers to entry created by imperfections in the rating system. This is the first time I have heard about it.

Hi Chess Friends,

Thank You

I nominate Paul Leblanc for Ratings Auditor
I feel that the Rating Auditor’s primary goal is to protect the integrity of the CFC’s most valuable asset, the Regular ratings.
If re-elected, I will not change the K factor as I believe that the rating bonus formula performs the function of identifying and rewarding strong results.
I will not introduce rating floors. I believe they are artificial and distort the correct allocation of rating points. I do not believe there is a problem with players intentionally losing games to lower their ratings.
I will not support a change to the maximum number of Regular rated games to be played in a single day. This is just not serious chess and is more appropriately rated as Quick chess.
The CFC Regular rating system has been in equilibrium since the introduction of the bonus point formula in 2012. If needed, there is provision to make adjustments to the bonus formula to counter inflation or deflation. This has not been necessary up to now.
