I have reached 2200 regular rating last month, but I’m not nominated NM title yet. At least I don’t see it in the Milestones (Member id: 32196360)
How long it usually takes to get the title?
Congratulations on NM.
Game Stats and Norms - #11 by nolan as far as I could tell, the milestones are broken since the transition from MSA to MUIR.
We don’t have a tool for manually entering titles and other milestones yet, I’m not sure when we’ll have one.
I just sent the director of member services a list of 67 players who have an established regular OTB rating of 2200 or higher since 10/1/25 but do not currently have the National Master title listed among their milestones. The OP in this thread is one of them.
National Master certificates should be in the mail this week. We may have a workaround to get titles into MUIR until we have a milestones editing tool there.
I also sent him a list of 28 players who appear to eligible for the Original Life Master title, ie, ones with 300 or more games with a pre-event established regular rating of 2200 or higher.

What about new FIDE titles? I see some were updated, probably manually, but not mine. I received the shiny certificate and it shows on FIDE since mid September. I hoped the USCF ratings pages would know about it after the October FIDE Rating List was published, but no dice (on both MSA and MUIR). By the way, I know I’m not alone and do not take it personally.
That one’s more complicated, I’m told.

It looks like manual update is the way to go for FIDE titles. I got lucky.

Lol
AUTOMATIC updates is the way to go for FIDE titles. Especially since Muir is probably already using the monthly FRL for us chess rating initialization if the member doesnt already have one of the 6 us chess ratings to initialize from.
I’m sure automatic updates for FIDE titles is coming soon. I don’t know if they are planning on using an API, or downloading the file once a month, and just cross referencing. Mike likely has more details.
The legacy system had a tool that downloaded files (the latest FRL and the ‘all-players’ file) from the FIDE website daily and checked for updated FIDE information for every player with a FIDE ID in their member record. We do not yet have a replacement for that, nor are we sure where that needs to reside, since we want FIDE information available in MUIR as well as in the membership system/member dashboard.
If FIDE has an API for accessing that information, nobody has ever told me about it. FIDE does not communicate IT matters well, they’ve changed the format of the FRL and all-players file several times with no advance warning or revised field dictionary.
