Current Ratings April 15, 2011

Just a reminder of how you gain and lose rating points.
+5 for attendance
-1, 2 or 3 each time you goof off in class -5 for using pieces inappropriately or kibbitzing.
Anywhere from +1 to +31 for winning or -1 to -31 for losing whether in club or in tournaments.
Draws can gain or lose up to 15 points.
Solving problems correctly on worksheets are generally 2 points per problem.

If you're new this session I started you at 100 points - you'll have to work your way up.
