Bob Armstrong, the CFC Public Affairs Officer, suggested that I post this report on this forum. Some of you may have already seen it in the CFC Governors' Quarterly Meeting, underway now.
Rating Auditor Report
Median rating of Top 100 active in past 36 months: 2338. Has been stable at around 2345 plus or minus 10 since late 2009
Average Rating of players >1200 active in past 12 months: 1722. Has been stable at around 1720 plus or minus 30 since early 2009
Average Rating of all players >1200 active in past 36 months: 1702. Has been stable at around 1690 plus or minus 10 since late 2010
Average Rating of all players active in the past 12 months: 1364. After a steep climb from 1180 levels (2004 to 2010), this average peaked at 1440 in March 2013 and appears to be settling in somewhere near the current level.
Average rating of all players active in the past 36 months: 1216. This average has been climbing steadily from 1090 levels (2004 to 2010) and will probably find an equilibrium somewhere below the levels for players active in the past 12 months.
Changes in the latter two averages were likely attributable to the migration of 30 minute junior events from Regular to Active rating and hence the reduced production of low rated juniors.
There is no concern of inflation or deflation. The bonus point system appears to be working satisfactorily.
