Hi Richard,
I know nothing about how things should be done, but maybe games outside this
group should not count toward this group's ratings, and friendly games
between members of this group should count as friendly games. Maybe games
where one player is a member of this group and another isn't, friendly or
tournament, shouldn't count. That would make it easier for all. It's just
like on the free internet chess server where what plays there stays there.

Hi All,
In the welcome letter I sent members after the first few that joined this
list, I stated that we would rate all games including other tournaments as
long as both players were members of this list.
I think that will eventually lead to unsymmetrical results where tournaments
are concerned and so I am proposing that tournament games sponsored by other
groups either be excluded or be treated as friendly games for rating
purposes.
To date only two game scores are affected by this change and I can easily
remove the games from my records. If I wait until there are many such games
it will be a lot of work, so I want this decided quickly. I will adjust the
affected players so there is no loss in their current rating.
If you have comments or questions on this proposal please let me know right
away.
Richard
