The Tournament
Grading Page is the main body of the grading
section, and is essentially an index to all graded events processed
during the season, sorted into appropriate categories with links to the individual event. The Check List of Graded Events is a "live" unsorted list of every uploaded event from the grading computer this season. League grading data appears in both the above lists with more detailed information available at the League Page An archive of all grading data since 1997 is also retained. We welcome any feedback on possible errors in the online data.

about the grading systen |
 The
Scottish Grading system attempts to give an accurate measure
of a player's strength, based purely on results. In this
introduction to the system, the Chief Grader
explains the basic theory behind the system, and shows you how
to calculate your grade. A subsection to the article deals
with games played outwith Scotland.
And
just to help you along, you can download a free Excel grading
calculator devised by Alex Clark of Dundee.
Area
Grader Information
Grading data is submitted by Congress organisers, League and
Club secretaries around Scotland. These "Area Graders" collate the data in computer format. The data is then submitted
to Chess Scotland for processing. The latest version of the
Area Grading Program is posted here. The file is updated
once a week with new players.

Congresses are invoiced after they submit an event to be processed. Fees are levied at a rate of so many pence per player per game. The fee rate varies depending on whether CS member discounts apply to entry fees.
Leagues and Clubs join CS principally to get games graded.
Individuals can get outside Scotland games graded free as part of membership. |
