I submitted a tournament with a FIDE rated top section the way (I’m told) the Mass. Chess Association has done it in the past:
I (a FIDE IA, and the only licensed FIDE Arbiter) was listed as the Chief TD for the entire tournament with no assistants.
The top section of the Tournament was listed with no Chief TD, or Assistants
Lower sections (US Chess rated only) had different Section Chiefs and Assistants.
MUIR is showing me as the Chief for the FIDE rated section (and all other sections), but it picked up the first section assistant of the highest US Chess rated section as the Chief Assistant for the entire tournament. He is not a FIDE licensed arbiter!
The Chiefs and Assistants for the subsections are not showing up correctly in MUIR when looking at the tournament as a regular user.
I worked the 29th Annual Eastern Chess Congress this past October. I was Chief Assistant for the whole tournament but on Muir it shows me with only the Extra Game sections. It gives Harold Stenzel my credit as Chief Assistant in Muir.
My understanding is that there was a flaw in the way the data was migrated from the legacy system. A re-migrate is planned but not yet scheduled.
I’ve seen one or two reports that suggest there may also be an issue with TD info for events entered on MUIR, but I haven’t personally validated them so I don’t know if this is a misunderstanding by the TD, a bug in how the data is entered into the database or a display issue. It is probably desirable to make sure this issue is resolved before doing the re-migrate.
