Top American Players
Main American Ratings
Top North American Players - at 13 October 2007 (post Migscon)
The table below shows the top rated players in North America. Only players
whose rating had reliability in categories A,B or C and played in the last 13 months are included.
A number of good players would have been eligible for this list except
for the minimum reliability requirement.
Hopefully this shortcoming will be rectified over the next 6 months or so.
In total 93 players met the reliability criterion and were eligible for this list.
Please note that each player's position in the previous top list is shown in braces
after their current position. Where a player's previous rating was high enough but too unreliable to
make the list last time the previous position is shown as {UR}.
The results of 6 new tournaments have been included since the previously published ratings.
These were Migscon in Location which involved 8 players
, Gisclair 07 in Port Allen LA (12 players), Advance the Colors 07 in Springfield OH (11 players), Hubcon in Hattiesburg MS (10 players), Game Day in Ocean Springs MS (8 players) and Virginia Condotta in Chantilly VA (4 players).
The actual scores are the total 10 point game scores (or equivalents) for each player from these
tournaments.
The right-most column shows the level in rating equivalent terms that
each player performed at in these tournaments.
The previous ratings were as at 28.7.2007 after Historicon NICT 07.
