Key To Crosstables:

• A = Player’s score.
• B = Number of rated opponents played (N).
• C = Score against rated opponents (W).
• D = Average rating of rated opponents (Rc). Not shown for unrated players if B is less than 3 or Score is less than 1.
• E = Rated players: Sum of expected score for each rated opponent (We).
• F = Rated players: Actual score less expected score. This must be multiplied by K to get change of rating.
• Unrated players: FIDE Performance rating.
• K is the development coefficient. K is 20 except in a month where a junior player has outperformed expectation, then the k factor is 40
• T1 = Tie Break using Sum Of Progressive Scores
