January 2012 grades published

Asterisks indicate the player is no longer active and the grade in this table is the last published for the player.

Category definitions:
X – Grade based on all games (at least 30) played in the latest halfyear
A – Grade based on the 30 most recent games, all played in the latest 12 months
B – Grade based on the 30 most recent games, all played in the latest 24 months, including at least 20 in the latest 12 months
C – Grade based on the 30 most recent games in the latest 36 months, of which at least 10 were played in the latest 12 months
D – Grade based on 15 or more games in the latest 36 months, of which at least 5 were played in the latest 12 months
E – Grade based on 9 or more games in the latest 36 months, of which at least 1 was played in the latest 12 months

Players not meeting any of these requirements are ungraded. Players may have a Standard or Rapid Grade only, if they have not met the requirement for both rates of play. Where members have played very few games, an estimated grade is shown with an e suffix, but these are not particularly reliable.

Grades were recalibrated in 2009 and most players at that time received an uplift because analysis of several years of results showed there had been systematic deflation. The ECF code is a unique identifier to facilitate accurate data entry. The procedures for calculating ECF grades are given on the ECF grading website.
