The Irish Chess Union has decided that as from the September 2002 Rating List, a player must have played 20 rated games before he or she is eligible for an official rating. Previously a player had only to play 12 games, but the new higher threshold has been introduced because it will be more statistically sound. Players with less than 20 games in total are indicated by U/G (meaning ungraded) in the list above. However, so that these players may have some indication of their rating strength, the ICU has decided to publish "provisional" ratings for ungraded players. Players should treat these provisional ratings with caution. In many cases the provisional rating is based on a handful of games, and when a player eventually obtains an official rating, it may be considerably higher or lower than the provisional rating.
