2.10 The “Rating Report” Menu
From this menu it is possible to generate several rating reports intended for submission to a number
of Chess federations.
FIDE:
1. Rating Report permits insertion of new data and the creation of a rating report to be sent to
FIDE (file fideelo.txt).
2. History Card: For a Swiss tournament this contains the player cards of all FIDE rated
players and those unrated players that have played against at least one FIDE rated player.
The rating variation calculation by Vega uses the following FIDE formula:
R = R0 + K Σi (P i – PA i)
Where R is the final rating, R0 is the initial rating, Pi is the player score result of round i
(1, 0.5 or 0), PAi is the score probability depending upon the rating difference between
the player and their opponent at round i.
If K = 0 (the default value) the rating variation will be shown in units of K.
The player performance for the tournament is calculated using the FIDE procedure
described in https://www.fide.com/component/handbook/?id=174&view=article (article
1.48).
For a single Round Robin tournament with unrated players the rating calculations are made
using the FIDE procedure. If the Arbiter wishes to exclude from calculation the results of
one or more unrated players he must, at the end of the tournament, set their status to ‘1/2’.
3. Find Norm produces the file fidenorm.txt containing a list of players and their
performance relative to various title norms (GM, IM, WGM, WIM). Moreover, a grid is
