          Since the deadline has past, we should have a decent list of pre-registered teams now? If so can you list it here please? Thanks.

              Sorry Michael, but you listed my team's name wrong. My team's name is Drawmasters.

              Thanks.

                    Is the CFC members database on CFC website up to date?

                    Yes, I noticed that ratings are out of date too.

                    As you understand, I didn't enter them manually.
                    Swiss Manager (official CFC program) downloads members database from
                    http://chess.ca/sites/default/files/cfcmembers.mde

                    Probably it's a question for CFC Executive Director Bob Gillanders:
                    Is the CFC members database on CFC website up to date?

                      I can confirm that those ratings seem to be out of date. On my team, Konstantin, Liza and Matthew's are correct, but Jason Cai should be 2237, Nicholas Vettese should be 2228, Wajdy Shebetah is 2022, and I'm 1563. It seems in particular that the Hart House Holiday Open results have not been included.

                      Sergey Noritsyn is now 2253, and Tigran Ghazarian is now 1900. Sergi Loiko on your team was given a provisional rating of 1915 after Mississauga.

                      It strikes me that we were seeing the same kind of lag from Swiss Manager in some other tournaments.
