Northwest Scholastic Rating System

 

      2008 - 2009: The Top Ten in Each Grade in WA

 

I am doing this the same as last year.  In the past, to reach anywhere on these pages, players had to be a Washington resident and play a minimum of 15 NWSRS rated games last season, without exception.  However, last year I decided to honor those players who are highly rated, but for whatever reason, did not play the minimum of 15 games in the system. I am following that practice again this year.   I still show the Top 10 as the players who have met the requirement, but show other Washington players who had the rating to qualify, but not the 15 games.  (Total Games) = career games.  (Games Year) = games played in 2006-2007 season.  (Ratings for this list were closed September 1, 2008.)

Congratulations to the fine young players who made this list!  We honor you.  And congratulations to the many others who missed the list narrowly, and the many, many others who competed last year in this great game we all enjoy!

THIS IS A FULLY RESET LISTING FOR 2007-2008 done in preparation for the 2008-2009 season.  ALL PLAYERS ARE LISTED WITH THEIR NEW 2008-2009 GRADES.  (There may be some kindergartners who started competitive chess as pre-schoolers whose grades need to be reset.  Please communicate with Kirk Winges concerning any issues with grade coding wa_ratings@nwsrs.org ).  Also provide any school changes, grade changes or updated/new USCF information to Kirk.
