I'm rounding up. 1904, to be exact -- although I haven't competed in decades.

Say ... isn't the rating system:

Class E: Under 1200
Class D: 1200 - 1399
Class C: 1400 - 1599
Class B: 1600 - 1799
Class A: 1800 - 1999
Expert (Candidate Master): 200 - 2199
Master: 2200+

What's with these 2500 and 3000_+ ratings?!?
by Cathexis on Tue Aug 15, 06 5:11pm [+]

Oops. Expert should be 2000 - 2199. Not 200.

Isn't the ELO system theoretically without upper bound?
by SelfRepresentative on Tue Aug 15, 06 5:16pm [+]

Ten decades to be exact ;-)

SR: Numerically, yes ... but the associated titles only go so high. There may ba grandmaster or two in the mid-2000s, but ...

Anyone who claims 3000+ is giving you a blank check, mate. wink

I couldn't find "Crap" up there so I couldn't vote.

SR: Re. 10 decades -- Sure seems like it! wink

Wasn't te ELO system started by that guy from the Traveling Wilburys with the beard, sunglasses and big-ass afro?

E-evil woman. Duh-duh-duh-duh -duh-duh-duh-dum.

I haven't played seriously in three decades-plus, so I can't be that good.
by Truthseeker013 on Wed Aug 16, 06 3:15pm [+]

I added a "0" choice, but the system deleted it for no reason.
