Where will I find my BFCC rating (elo)?
BFCC no longer award CC ratings but use the ICCF system that coordinates the official rating for all cc players.
Where will I find my International chess rating?
You will find your ICCF rating at two locations -
(1) http://www.iccf.com where you will find the ratings lists, a report from the ratings official and a very useful softwrae program known as Eloquery.
(2) http://www.iccf-webchess.com/RatingList.aspx where the ICCF Webserver has a useful page offering a variety of ways that you can filter the rating list. For example you can search just for players from a specific country or a list of lady grandmasters.
Why am I not on the rating list ?
You must play in a 'rated' tournament such as the British Championship or an ICCF tournament.
Can I use my 'over the board' chess rating in CC tournaments?
Your OTB rating does not apply to CC tournaments but it can be used as a guide to the tournament director that you meet a particular playing standard. If you felt that you should be permitted to enter an ICCF event at a higher level than a new player would normally begin, you should contact the International Secretary to apply for entry to a higher event.
