champion374, fist let me say thank you for the updates to the Barbados National Championship 2011....
For rating updates, Eric Strange was updating the ratings, but he evidently broke away from the ACF and started
the ICF, the Internet Checkers Federation. I don't know who is now updating the ratings, if they are being updated at all at this time. I have no insider information, I just don't know who if anyone is updating the ratings!

I find what you say rather interesting John, (or should i say VERY STRANGE) given that Mr Strange, strangely posted this , not too long ago.
Eric Strange wrote: For the ACF: You have attacked my friends and myself personally as well as trying to demean our online attempt to make checkers better. I am hereby resigning as person in charge of ratings. I am not heartless so I will give 1 person access to being able to continue calculating from where I left off with my simple and easy process. I am sorry it had to come to this but I am not going to waste anymore time with your organization based on how it is and what I see it becoming.
I do wonder who that 1 person is ....

I maybe be wrong but i think Rawle Willams did draw 0 - 0 with Alex when Aex came to Barbados back in 2004.

the Barbados vs usa. if u look at the wcdf ratings u will see Rawle is a IM behind Richard pask.
