| The SCCA grading list has been published during the first quarter of each calendar year, then supplemented by updates from the ICCF
rating system every March and September. The 2008 list was the last to calculate SCCA grades. From 2009, all grades are calculated
on the ICCF system, and SCCA domestic events are administered on the ICCF webserver to allow results to be automatically fed into
the ICCF system. From 2009, the ICCF grading list has been published quarterly. |
Grading List 2024
April 2024 Notes
The second ICCF grading list of 2024 is published and new grades are based on 3 months’ results reported between 1 Jan and 31 Mar 2024.
The grades will apply to internationally graded games starting between 1 Apr and 30 Jun 2024.
It appears that there were no new norms in the latest rating period.
There were 2 additions to the list, both previously registered under England. This resulted from the demise of BCCA where the admin had
been wayward. The players have made the correct decision now!! The most significant rating moves were Ian Marshall (+127), Thomas Anderson
(+91), Richard Beecham (+45), Colin Beveridge (+32), and Steve Pettigrew (+23).
New games centurions were Raymond Burridge (2000+) and Robert Montgomery (400) and Gordon Anderson (400+) Highest recorded games this quarter
were Martin Hardwick (56), Iain Sneddon (36) and Carlos Almarza Mato (25).
January 2024 Notes
The first ICCF grading list of 2024 is published and new grades are based on 3 months’ results reported between 1 Oct and 31 Dec 2023. The
grades will apply to internationally graded games starting between 1 Jan and 31 Mar 2023.
In the norms and titles stakes it appears that Robert Montgomery has secured a final norm for the Scottish Master title (thanks for pointing it
out Robert!). This is subject to ratification by the SCCA Executive Committee. Ian Whittaker and Colin Beveridge also earn SM norms through ratings.
Congratulations (subject to ratification!) to them all.
There were 3 deletions from the list due to inactivity. The most significant rating moves were Andrew MacMillen (+70), David Carswell (+56), John
Armstrong (+55), Colin Beveridge (+51), Arthur Knox & Ian Whittaker (+35), Mark Smith (+29), Allan Buchan and Iain Sneddon (+21) and Geoffrey Lloyd (+20).
New games centurions were Carlos Almarza Mato (2500+), Geoffrey Lloyd (1200+) and Gordon Anderson (400+) Highest recorded games this quarter were Iain
Sneddon (41), Carlos Almarza Mato (40), David Cumming (36) and Geoffrey Lloyd (+30).
General Notes
If you are ungraded, the ICCF webserver will calculate a provisional rating for your first 12 games. Provisional ratings are no longer published.
After you complete 30 games, you are eligible for a published ICCF grade. Note that correspondence grades are often substantially higher than
over-the-board grades. Please get in touch with me at:
grader if you have any queries.

- Attaining the ICCF GM, SIM or IM title.
- Attaining 3 norms, without limit of time; one norm for each of the following:
- (SCCA or) ICCF grade of 2300 or above, provided this grade is based on at least 30 results in total, and on at least 20 new results
since any previous norm has been awarded for grade.
- Outright winner of the SCCA Championship Final, or joint winner with at least 75% of total points. (Note that the SCCA Championship should
be organised so that players play a minimum of 8 games for this condition to operate.)
- IM norm.
- 50% or more of the points in an ICCF World Semi-Final, or 60% or more of the points in an ICCF World Preliminary.
