About the OTB Ratings
The WESPA Ratings Officer updates the ratings file using the latest results of approved tournaments. Rankings are given to those who have played in the past two years and have reached 50 games in WESPA-rated tournaments.
Players who have played less frequently will have a larger Rating Deviation upon return. This results in larger rating changes per game won/lost/drawn.
The improved WESPA Rating System, also known as RJR system, has been in operation since 1 January 2025. It rates past data dating back to 1 January 2006.
The full list of players is not only available as a text file; if you are looking to search for a specific player (including yourself), our search tool below can assist.
