Help, something is wrong in the calculation?

Check your detailed calculations first. Should there by any games missing, check if they appear in the ELO checklist. If not, you should direct yourself to the tournament organizer. He/she might not have submitted these games for processing (yet).

Otherwise, reach out through ratings@frbe-kbsb-ksb.be. Add sufficient detail to your request: player name, description of the error, date of game(s) played.

The national ELO system get’s updated quarterly. In order to avoid corrections after publication, a ELO checklist is available for all organizers and players. This checklist serves to verify the games submitted for processing, before the next ranking update. Organizers receive an official confirmation of reception and processing of their tournament report, with the request to verify the processed games and signal any errors at least 3 days before the next quarterly update.

Nous avons 2 joueurs qui ont un Elo Fide sur le site de la FRBE mais pas sur le site de la FIDE (seulement 4 parties). Pourquoi?
Pour un des deux joueurs, cela ne fait pas une grande différence mais pour l’autre, il y a 240 points en moins en Fide. On est loin de la règle de conversion qui devrait lui être appliquée pour l’instant dans le futur vu qu’il n’a pas d’Elo Fide
