Having discovered some old scoresheets lying around with incomplete information as to rating and the name of opponents I have played, I went to the MSA tournament history tab to see what I could find.
Under my history, it says there have been 21 tournaments rated for me since 1991. However, when I look down the list, I see they go back only to 1996. The ones I’m looking for are dated after 1991 but before 1996.
I would have thought every tournament counted would have been listed in the MSA. Is there a cutoff year for listing crosstables in the MSA?
As far as I know we have all events rated since December 8, 1991 on MSA.
Unless there are some gaps I’m unaware of or a programming problem, this leads me to suspect that either those games weren’t rated or they were rated under some other ID.
No, crosstable records from before late 1991 are no longer available in computerized form. Even if the paper records were intact and complete (which I doubt they are), it would be very expensive to try to re-enter all those records.
