The tournament history used to show whether the player is provisional and also the number of games. Will that be returning?
The information is available on the player page currently; if provisional you see the / followed by the number of games played.
thatâs different. the number of games info is not lost in published rating, but is lost in live post-event rating.
Of course, you would expect most us chess members to be able to do additions under 26 and figure it out, after some clicking and mental arithmetic. But that does not mean they should omit provisional status (number of games) in post-event ratings.

Got it. The information of how many games a player was counted as having in provisional status after a particular event seems fairly irrelevant compared to whether or not the player has an established rating or not, I would think, but I see the difference now.

The player page number of games are incorrect too.
For example, US Chess ID:32582637 , where the playerâs
published rating is â140 (Based on 4 games)â
live post-event rating is â220 (Based on 7 games)â .
But the playerâs page says neither, instead, it says â140 / 7 â
The MUIR display of âTOURNAMENTS MORE >â looks crazy now.
And if this is not a rerate in progress. It is a new bug suddenly appears and prevents everyone to look up live post-event rating.
I donât know, I marked it âurgentâ but I havenât seen any indication that itâs been looked at yet, because I didnât figure out what the problem was until around 5PM central.
it does not appear to be part of the api for the event section, yet.
hopefully they will add it soon â this is what I think I need to use to get most current rating(s) of a player -

That may be why thereâs a delay in showing provisional status and game count on MUIR.
now on MUIR, it looks like live rating is directly showing up in the front page.
And any provisional rating in live rating is now showing as blank in the front page.
I think that was an early version of the december ratings list showing, which it shouldnât because those ratings arenât effective until december1st anyway
Ideally, what MUIR should show is both the current month official ratings and the ones for the next month when they become available, which is the case for the last week to two weeks of the month.

the front page ratings now shows provisional rating without number of games âŚ
https://ratings.uschess.org/player/13999987
here is the link of test case for debugging not showing number of games in provisional ratingâŚ
Forwarded on to Leago.
now, it looks like it just use / 0 as number of games
for both established rating and for provisional rating. Divide by 0 is mathematically invalid
Yup, reported. Close but no cigar.
