Google Chrome doesn't like my system. It keeps seizing up. I hope it works for you.

Indeed. :-P I had a huge problem with it for that very reason, and it's why I chose the alternative version. It was a bugger to do. A little tip, you're probably doing this anyway, set up a spreadsheet to do it all for you. I had something for my rating system where all the Maths was done for me, I just had to type in results, and copy and paste the relevant results for each player to calculate the rating.

This may be of help to you: http://ratings.fide.com/calculators.phtml

Note that there are three calculators - you should only need 1 and 3. FIDE's system is complex in that the value of k is important to stop inflation/deflation. I use the ECF system for my school, it's easier to maintain! :-P

Crikey. How long ago was that? I've had a brief search of the whole site, for "FIDE", "Chess", "ELO" and "Rating" and combinations of them, and they either spew out Chess articles or articles where those words form part of other words. E.g. bona fide. So, I've had little success with it. I'm fairly certain I said it - it sounds like something I'd suggest. :-P Problem is, the archives are so big, that the comment/article/whatever could be anywhere. I'm sorry I can't be of much help. The only thing I can suggest is to keep searching for words related to chess, and hope to stumble across it. I'm not sure if it even covers comments, so if I mentioned it in a comment, you could be there for a while. Out of curiosity, might I ask why you need it?

When modifying font, try using < > instead of [ ]. I only use [ ] when linking. I use < > for everything else. Also lowercase letters work better.

Your bracket has been disqualified in the Stiles 9th or worse seeds tournament as you have made picks of seeds that were better than #9.

You are now responsible for the torture of cute dogs.

You've successfully posted a bracket for "Spring Silliness", maybe you can help me out. I've posted mine, but my max points is zero. It says Done next to each region but I'm worried something is wrong. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the heads up--I've been waiting for it. I can't believe your first one got 20 votes but so few comments. Strange.
