Ratings Update

[clintolsen]

I apologize for the lack of recent ratings updates. Now that my match with Lorne is done I should be able to make some good progress on this.

The following tournaments have been entered and are now waiting to be processed:

• 2019 Sunville Academy Youth Tournament
• 2019 Illinois State Open - Class A
• 2019 Illinois State Open - Class B
• 2019 North Carolina State & District 4 Open - Masters
• 2019 North Carolina State & District 4 Open - Class B
• 2019 Texas State & District 8 Open
• 2019 New England States & District 1 Open
• 2019 Southern States Open - Masters
• 2019 Southern States Open - Majors (There is an error in round 7: Woolum vs Boyd which is listed as 3-0 but I am assuming should be 4-0)
• 2019 Italian Open World Cup
• 2019 Canadian Championship Match

If there are any US tournaments not listed here that have not already been processed please let me know.

The following tournaments have missing/invalid cross-tables - If anyone has this please send them to me ASAP:

• 2018 Tennessee Open
• 2019 Missouri State 3-Move Open
• 2019 Jerry Miller's GAYP Checker Meet
• 2019 Pete Schmucker's Checker Meet

I'm also waiting on Kent Layne to send me proper cross-tables for some Barbados events.

I have also received proper cross-tables for the following older UK tournaments from Graham Young but I am waiting for date/location info before entering them - If anyone else has that info please let me know:

• 2016 British Open
• 2016 Arthur Jones
• 2017 Arthur Jones
• East of Scotland 2017
• East of Scotland 2018
• East of Scotland 2019
• Irish Open 2018
• Naas 2017 (also, what's the official name of this event?)
• Naas 2018
• Northern Ireland Open 2018

Given that the tournaments above are in some cases many years old, I am planning to re-process all tournaments in chronological order once all are entered. Richard/Joe agree that this is the best approach. NOTE: This may slightly impact existing ratings for any player that has played players that cross-mingle between UK and US / qualifier tournaments such as Shane M, Igor M, Nadia C (I'm sure there are a few others).

Very nicely done Clint.
I think ratings are imported to know ones playing ability.

Clint im hoping the other nations send in their results as well.Im seeing 321 checker players on the list and we know they are more than that.
