Starting July 2009, this page features tournament results for all sanctioned tournaments.
The results are filed according to the month in which they were entered into the rating system:
if a tournament is held late in a month, its results may be filed under the following month.
Detaled tournament results (known as cross-tables) are available here two formats,
“older” and “newer”.
The older format contains text only and is suitable for compact viewing on a low-bandwidth connection;
the newer format with pictures and scores is suitable for faster connections.
The results are also copied from this web site with a slight delay and made available on our partner
web site cross-tables.com with more extensive statistics.

Segments
Long tournaments are split-rated in multiple segments as follows:
- Tournaments of 16 or fewer rounds are rated in a single segment.
- Tournaments of 17 through 35 rounds are rated in two approximately equal segments.
- Tournaments of 36 or more rounds are rated in three approximately equal segments.
If the segments must be of unequal size, then earlier segments are assigned extra rounds.
Older cross-tables have one listing per segment,
followed by separate listing of final standings when applicable.
Newer cross-tables have one listing per tournament,
with a pair of rating columns for each segment.
