I joined way back in June 2001 and have loved this site over the years. Returning now after a couple year absence to play a few games. I generally don't chat, but if you want to engage, feel free 🙂
Tournament Entry Rating is calculated by the formula (CurrentRating + HighestRating) / 2. The entry rating will never drop to more than 100 points below your Highest Rating.
Rated stats are updated within 24 hours of the last completed rated game.
