"For many years, the WCU rating site has provided a facility for new players to have provisional ratings. However, the manual effort of maintaining this functionality now exceeds its benefit. Rating officers have the authority to amend new players' ratings should the initial rating provided be inaccurate and the system caters for such changes. Therefore provisional ratings will be discontinued".

Please note - Rating officers are sometimes given wrong information about game results or they might copy
them wrongly. If you think you can see any errors please inform your zone's rating officer ASAP.
To all players playing abroad - Please let your rating officer know before leaving for a foreign tournament.
Games will not be rated unless the RO is aware of your participation beforehand. Failure to alert the
RO runs
the real risk that your games will be lost. All games played in Wales or high-profile ECF tournaments, such as
the 4NCL and British Championship are exempt from this, as are games representing Wales in official
International competitions, as these will be picked up anyway. If one person alerts us to an
event where multiple Welsh players are playing, then all WCU players in that event will be rated.
