Results were as follows (late ones to be updated when
known). The first rating is the September 1st rating, which counts for
eligibility (in all rounds), the second is the June 1st rating which counts
for board order for the rounds played in June, and the “ave.” is the average
of the June ones. (That’s the theory, though where “2203” for Tim Wall
is a mystery, not being shown that the writer can see on the ECF Rating
database. Other figures – taken from LMS – may similarly be adrift.)
