Hi everyone,
I know this is posted somewhere either in the forums (cannot find with search) or some document from USCF. Can someone point me to the right place?
The question is - what is the cutoff date for a Rating Supplement? My understanding was that it is the first Friday of the prior month. Where is this information posted?
This comes up as some scholastic coaches are trying to figure out their teams for the Nationals and wondering after what date they can allow players close to a section ceiling to resume playing.
Specifically, the question involves the High School Nationals - (held in April - uses April supplement). What is the cutoff date? I assume it would be Friday March 4 - that is any tournament played after that date would not affect April ratings. Is this correct?
[side note: National Junior High School held in April uses April supplement; National Elementary School (held in May - uses April supplement) - that’s another question why this is so - I know it has to do with some coaches trying to enter teams in advance - should this be allowed?]
Thank you,
