2007 Chase the King – September 15th, 2007
Before
discussing the results, Chess for Schools would like to say thank you to all
the students, parents and volunteers who made this tournament a success.
This
tournament was rated by the United States Chess Federation (USCF). This means,
the USCF uses the results of each game to provide each participant an estimated
ability level. Ratings change often for school aged participants and are not
good predictors for the outcome of a game between opponents; nonetheless, they
are useful in the organization and scoring for a tournament.
The
USCF also publishes what is known as a “cross table”. The cross table indicates
who each participant played and the outcome of that specific game. The cross
table will show the new participant rating directly underneath the name of the participant
and to the right of the participants USCF ID number. In this example “19619274 / R:
173 -> 231”, the member 19619274 started the tournament with a
rating of 173 and completed the tournament with a rating of 231.
