Wrong section of the tournament is showing as FIDE-rated

[user781]

I am seeking clarification regarding the FIDE rating status of sections in the following tournament:

• Tournament Name: Central States Master Challenge

• Dates: October 31, 2025 – November 2, 2025

• Event Description: https://www.kingregistration.com/event/MasterChallenge

• USCF Rating Link: https://ratings.uschess.org/event/202511020763

• FIDE Rating Link: https://ratings.fide.com/report.phtml?event=453951

Based on the USCF rating link, it appears that the games played in the FIDE-only section were not submitted for FIDE rating. Instead, the Premier section games seem to have been calculated and reflected in the FIDE rating report.

This appears to be reversed from what was expected. My understanding is that the FIDE section should be the one rated by FIDE. I am concerned that the FIDE section games may have been missed or incorrectly handled in the submission process.

Could someone please clarify whether this is an error, and if so, whether it can be corrected?

Thank you.

I think you should reach out to FIDE events manager Brian Yang brian.yang@uschess.org for this question.

Thank you for the information.

I’d highly recommend not contacting individuals if there is a generic email address for a specific subject, such as FIDE issues, TD certification, membership, rating reports, etc.

For FIDE related issues, this is fide@uschess.org.
