By now you should know that every event which includes ACF members gets rated. Don't mean to be harsh, but you of all people should know this by now champ.

This is fine, do you have a final standing cross table ? :D

All I am saying - more likely they don't care to send it and don't have any obligations.

Joe, aren't you a little impatient here??? I have completed a crosstable of the event and sent two copies to Orlando "Buck" Smith and an email to JR Smith. It will be up to "Buck"and JR to decide if my crosstable is acceptable for posting on NC checker site. So contacting those guys should be your next step.

My personal opinion - crosstable must be posted and stored somewhere electronically, otherwise it will be lost after few years.

And ... yes, of course it is necessary to process it for rating update.

Communications and relations between Federations shall not impact and hurt players.

Neil, many thanks for submitting crosstable to authorities.

Alex, my apologies. I thought you were implying that the tournament should not be rated due to it not being an ACF event. Sometimes Internet can make communication confusing. And I don't mean to be impatient Neil, thanks for submitting the crosstable.

What do you like about checkers?: I love that the concept of checkers is so simple, yet the games have a complex beauty that comes alive during play.

Joe, I just looked at rating list of "inactive players". Some names of people who is not with us anymore, must be removed.

Alex, I actually don't have access to take people off the list, but I am sure Eric would be willing to help with that if you gave us a list of some players.

Good idea, John, but ... it is still better do not mix and list them separately. Just thoughts ...

JR, You have a terrific site and I for one am glad that your willing to list all checker tournaments. You also play in many, a trip to ND in 2013 for a checker tournament at Fargo would be right up your alley.
