                        RULES FOR WEEKLY RANKINGS
                        -------------------------
Each new player is given an estimated rating which will be recalculated
after that person has played ten games.  A "UNR" is listed as a new
player's rating until at least four games are played.  Then a provisional
rating is shown (followed by a slash and the number of games). New
players are not ranked until they have played ten games.  The "/A" after
a player's rating indicates that player has been absent for at least 4
club sessions and is thus not ranked.  A player who has been absent for
at least 10 sessions is not listed. A player who has played fewer than 5
total games is no longer listed after missing 3 sessions. When a game is
a tie, each player is credited with a win.
