A ReelChess Rated event. Every player on this page leaves with a provisional RCR from the day. Ratings will refine with every future tournament — the journey begins here.

These are Provisional Ratings.
A single tournament is the start of a player's RCR — not the conclusion. Every rating on this page comes from one event with six games at most, seeded at 400 with K-factor 50 (the discovery phase). That means swings are large and intentional — the system is calibrating fast.
The bands shown may not yet reflect a player's true level. A 6-year-old playing their first ever tournament can land in Foundations after a tough day; a steady player can land in Beginner after an upset run. Both will refine over future ReelChess Rated events.

RCR alongside
The State Rating.
The same tournament, two rating systems. RCR is computed from this event using our seed and K-factor. JCL is the NSW Junior Chess League's calculation. Differences highlight where our view of the day diverges from the state body's.
RCR Above JCL
Our system rated these players higher than JCL.
RCR Below JCL
Our system rated these players lower than JCL.
How the Numbers
Were Built.
RCR uses the same Elo formula that powers FIDE and NSWJCL, but with our seed, our K-factor, and our band system. JCL is shown for reference only — it does not feed RCR.
Seed 400, K-factor 50
Every player started this tournament at 400 — the boundary between Foundations and Beginner bands. K=50 applies because this is the discovery phase: under-600 ratings or first ten games.
Round by Round.
Each game updates ratings using the opponent's rating at that moment. Ratings cascade through the six rounds — a Round 1 win shifts your Round 2 expectations.
Score then Buchholz.
When tournament scores tie, Buchholz breaks them — the sum of all your opponents' final scores. A player who beat strong opponents finishes above one who beat weak opponents on equal points.
Twelve Levels.
Foundations 200–400 · Beginner 400–600 · Developing 600–800 · up to Elite 2400–2800. This tournament produced two bands: Foundations and Beginner. With only six games played, these placements are provisional — players will move between bands as more rated games are added.
Every Tournament
Sharpens The Number.
Twenty-seven players carry a provisional rating from this event. The next ReelChess Rated tournament will move it. Term 2 launches the full ReelRating across all four pillars.
