| 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 2020
April 2020 Notes
The second ICCF grading list of 2020 is published and new grades are based on 3 months’ results reported between 1 December 2019 and 29
February 2020. The grades will apply to internationally graded games starting between 1 April and 30 June2020.
We had one addition (Stuart Graham re-activated), and one deletion (sadly, Derek Coope deceased) in this list. No titles or norms were
gained by members in the last grading period.
There were four upwards movements in grading bands – Iain Sneddon is now 2300+; Raymond Burridge is 2200+; while both Mark Smith and Ian
Whittaker are up to 2100+. Well done to all of them!
More new games centurions featured – Carlos Almarza Mato got to 1800+; David Cumming reached 1700+, Colin Beveridge surpassed 500, Pat Moir
hit 200; and Ian Whittaker is now 100+. Highest recorded games during this quarter were Carlos Almarza Mato (57), David Cumming (47), Martin
Hardwick (37), and Iain Sneddon (28).
January 2020 Notes
The first ICCF grading list of 2020 is published and new grades are based on 3 months’ results reported between 1 September and 30
November 2019. The grades will apply to internationally graded games starting between 1 January and 31 March 2020.
We had no additions, but three deletions due to inactivity (Stephen Hilton, A G Stewart and IM Joe Watson) in this list. No titles
or norms were gained by members in the last grading period.
Just the one upwards movement in grading bands this time – well done Charles O'Neill-McAleenan who is now 2000+!
More new games centurions were recorded – David Cumming reached 1600+, Martin Hardwick surpassed 1300, while Robert Montgomery vaulted
300. Highest recorded games during this quarter were David Cumming (67), Martin Hardwick (57), Michael Blake (42) and Iain Sneddon (37).
General Notes
You need to complete 12 ICCF-eligible games to obtain a provisional rating (* below). Provisional ratings apply until 30 games have
been processed. 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.
