Olympiad Norm Watch - Women

[Christopher Mallon]

Just to make it easier, I'm going to assume they are all aiming for WIM, with the obvious exception of Natalia who would be aiming for WGM.

If someone starts way over-performing for their target title I can always add the next higher one for them later (IM for Natalia and WGM for the other four).

To achieve a norm in an Olympiad:

20-Game Norm: Achieve a normal norm result in at least 9 games.
13-Game Norm: Achieve a performance in at least 9 games (quality of opponents does not matter but opponents ratings can not be modified)

WGM: 2400 performance 2000 floor 2100 unrated
WIM: 2250 performance 1850 floor 2000 unrated

Please note - the rules for the IM/GM norms are the same in the Women's Olympiad as in the Open. So a 2450 performance would be a 13-game IM norm in the Women's Olympiad, regardless of the quality of opponents.

Iulia can earn the WCM title by earning 1 net rating point or finishing at 50% with at least 7 games played.

Any of the four other than Natalia can earn the WFM title by finishing at 6/9 or 7/10 or 7.5/11.

Ra = Opponents Rating Average
TPR = Performance Rating
MRa = Modified Rating Average
MTPR = Modified Total Performance Rating
G = Games
Tt = Target Titled players played (WIMs or higher for that title, WGMs or higher for that title. Some count as 1.5)
Titles = Total titled played played (needs to be over 50% for a norm result)
Pace = What they are currently on pace for

Nice job in Round 5 - 3-1.

After Round 5:



Name Ra TPR MRa MTPR G Tt Titles Pace
Khoudgarian 2140 2140 2143 2143 4 0 3
Peng 2030 2030 2092 2092 4 2.5 2
Orlova 1954 2147 2036 2229 3 1 1
Botez 1937 2130 2014 2207 3 1 1
Lacau-Rodean 2162 1362 2162 1362 2 1 2


None of them are quite on pace for a title norm yet but we're getting closer :)

Are you suppose to use September 1st FIDE ratings?

[Christopher Mallon]

Are you suppose to use September 1st FIDE ratings?

Unfortunately, no.


1.46b The Rating List in effect at the start of the tournament shall be used, see exception in 1.16. The rating of players who belong to federations which are temporarily excluded when the event starts can be determined on applications to the FIDE Office.Since the Olympiad started prior to September 1st, it uses the previous Rating List for norm purposes. The exception listed applies to events played over a period longer than 90 days.

Analysis:

Peng and Orlova still have outside chances at norms - but it will require them to win both remaining games and have a team victory in Round 10.

However, they are both at 5 points.
For Peng, a win in her next game or 1.5/2 (draw then win) will get her the WFM title.
For Orlova, one point out of either one or two games played will get her the WFM title.

Good luck! :)
