| The SCCA grading list has been published during the first quarter of each calendar year, then supplemented by updates from the ICCF
rating system every March and September. The 2008 list was the last to calculate SCCA grades. From 2009, all grades are calculated
on the ICCF system, and SCCA domestic events are administered on the ICCF webserver to allow results to be automatically fed into
the ICCF system. From 2009, the ICCF grading list has been published quarterly. |
Grading List 2022
January 2022 Notes
The first ICCF grading list of 2022 is published and new grades are based on 3 months’ results reported between 1 Sep 2021 and 30 Nov 2021.
The grades will apply to internationally graded games starting between 1 Jan and 31 Mar 2022. A survey about the ICCF ratings (in 2 parts) was
sent to interested parties recently and we will see if any changes come from that as ICCF tries to find ways to improve the system.
There are 2 additions (Robin Moss & Derek Ross) and 5 deletions in this list. No new norms or titles were gained since the last list.
The most significant rating moves were Ian Marshall (+46), Allan Buchan (+43), Derek Price (+34), Andrew MacMillen (+31) and Ian Whittaker (+22).
New games centurions were Michael Blake (900+), Iain Mackintosh (800+), Richard Beecham (500) and Ian Whittaker (200+). Highest recorded games this
quarter were Carlos Almarza Mato (42), Raymond Burridge (35), Allan Buchan and David Cumming (both 26), Robin Moss (24) and Ian Marshall (20).
You need to complete 12 ICCF-eligible games to obtain a rating. Fixed ratings are based on at least 30 games and only these are shown below (for
information there are 12 players with unfixed ratings in the latest list and I expect some of these will obtain fixed ratings soon). Rating changes
are denoted by arrows. Email grader if you have any queries.
General Notes
If you are ungraded, the ICCF webserver will calculate a provisional rating for your first 12 games. Provisional ratings are no longer published.
After you complete 30 games, you are eligible for a published ICCF grade. Note that correspondence grades are often substantially higher than
over-the-board grades. Please get in touch with me at:
grader if you have any queries.

Scottish Master Title
GM, SIM and IM titles are awarded by ICCF, and their qualifying conditions are explained on the
ICCF website - follow the ICCF Titles links. The Scottish Master (SM) title is awarded by the SCCA, and its qualifying conditions are:
- Attaining the ICCF GM, SIM or IM title.
- Attaining 3 norms, without limit of time; one norm for each of the following:
- (SCCA or) ICCF grade of 2300 or above, provided this grade is based on at least 30 results in total, and on at least 20 new results
since any previous norm has been awarded for grade.
- Outright winner of the SCCA Championship Final, or joint winner with at least 75% of total points. (Note that the SCCA Championship should
be organised so that players play a minimum of 8 games for this condition to operate.)
- IM norm.
- 50% or more of the points in an ICCF World Semi-Final, or 60% or more of the points in an ICCF World Preliminary.
- Players must be members of the SCCA and have indicated that the SCCA is their primary CC body when norms are achieved, and the award of
the title is subject to ratification by the SCCA Executive Committee.
