BC Arbiters and Organizers

BCCF Guidance on the Use of Ratings
1. The primary rating used for section assignment, play-up eligibility, pairings and prizes is the player’s CFC rating provided that rating is current.

2. If the player does not have a current CFC rating but does have a current FIDE, USCF or FQE rating then that rating may be used. The Arbiter will decide if a given rating is 'current'. In general, “current” means 10 games played in the 12 months preceding the event under consideration.

3. Conversion of other ratings to CFC equivalent will be done at par.
