ECF GRADING LIST JULY 2016 (AUGUST REVISION)
The list, which appeared on 23rd July, is at http://www.ecfgrading.org.uk/new/menu.php. Figures in the table below, for all years, are from the "definitive" August revision. Bear in mind that August revisions, despite their "definitive" label, are only snapshots. Figures are never final. Corrections can change them at any time.
     January grades are omitted: the twelve-month spacing of lists is retained for comparison's sake, and the figures for players and halfgames graded represent the whole season.

What's missing? Nothing, as far as is known. A few omissions from the July list, totalling less than 700 halfgames, have been hunted down and inserted. What the 2016 table does not show is that the additions, few as they are, have contributed to more than 1000 amended grades - mostly by just 1 or 2 points - between July and August. This is inevitable, and last year's amendments were even more numerous.
     Any further missing events from 2015-16 that come to light will be held back for the January 2017 list.

For a table going five 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.
