ECF GRADING

ECF GRADING LIST JULY 2014
appeared on 24th July. The list is at http://www.ecfgrading.org.uk/new/menu.php. Previous-year figures in the table below are taken from the definitive pre-season August revision. We will update for 2014 when able, and late-reported results will boost the halfgames figures. (Figures are never final. Corrections can change them at any time.) January grades are omitted: we have retained the twelve-month spacing of lists for comparison's sake, and the figures for players and halfgames graded represent the whole season.
     What's missing? From the first halfyear, nothing as far as we know. From the second, two smallish leagues from the Midlands (local grader ran out of time), and all of the Direct Members' submissions from tournaments played outside England (not processed, for whatever reason, by the ECF officer responsible). All of these results are expected to go in the August revision.

For a table going three years further back, see the 2010-11 Grading page. Remember that grades up to and including 2008 are Old Grades. New Grades were introduced in 2009.

NOTE ON TEXT SIZE. If you've got your text set to Large, you may need to reduce it to make the table display correctly.
