"Does not qualify for official rankings"

What causes this to display on a player’s page?

That means the player is either not a current member or has not played recently enough to be considered ‘active’ and thus eligible for being ranked. We used to just leave the line blank.

The player I linked is a member through the end of 2026 and played in a tournament on Thursday (and Monday before that)…

EDIT: I think the issue is that “played recently” is only looking at regular ratings, or possibly just that the rankings are regular only.

Could be, please supply sufficient details (ID, ratings type, events, etc) for someone to be able to reproduce the error and send it to ratings-support@uschess.org.

I think the MSA ranking (national, state, senior, junior) were only for regular OTB ratings. The top 100 lists deal with the other ratings system and if they’re not totally functional now they will be soon. Porting of historical Top 100 data is also still in progress, I believe.

Now, it seems everyone’s MUIR page displays

Does not qualify for official rankings.

https://ratings.uschess.org/ranking now just static display No rankings found

Just like everyone’s MUIR page displays Does not qualify for official rankings and

everyone’s GAME STATS displays No Stats found

So many “no”, “no”, “no” …

It seems that Does not qualify for official rankings error is fixed.

But negative percentiles are being displayed for some players… for example, https://ratings.uschess.org/player/32584862

well, if you are number 75,623 out of a total of 48,283, what do you expect???

:rofl:

One easy solution could be redefine statistics:

Upgrade everyone by 58th percentiles.

Then, the -57th percentile becomes 1st percentile, to stay on the postive side,

and give those players like https://ratings.uschess.org/player/11343406 158th percentile where he would not complain

Lake Wobegon rankings, where everybody is above average.
