ICCF-US 2024-1 Rating List Top 50 List
Using the 2024-1 ICCF ELO Rating List, in effect for the
period from January 1, 2024 until March 31, 2024,
Bob Rizzo, ICCF-US Titles Officer has compiled the latest ICCF-US Top 50
Rated Active Players list. [Editors note:
My apologies for the delay in posting.
Bob provided this December 13 and I have just received it]
Please
Note: Starting with the 2023-4 list, ratings
are calculated according to the new rating rules, and in many instances those
formulae generated larger changes than would have been expected from the old
methodology. To account for the large
percentage of draws, the new system awards wins to a
much greater extent. Whereas the old
rating system would change a typical rating by approximately 5 rating points
for a win, instead some players will benefit by as
much as 25 points or more. The amount of
change is influenced by the new RD factor that now appears in the ratings list.
For 2024-1 we have 2 additions from the 2023-4
list.
