USCF Class Titles are here!

The USCF has updated the player rating database to include the new class-based title system.

You can look up your rating at the MSA section of the USCF site.

Below the Regular Rating listing you will see a new designation, Highest Norms-based Title Earned. For example:

Regular Rating 1894   2010-05
(Current floor is 1700)
Highest Norms-Based Title Earned 2nd Category

There is also a new tab, More, which gives the milestones for the player (since 1991, the start of the database tracking). These milestones correspond to the norm requirements achieved for each title. For example:

There are 7 Milestone entries for this player since December 1991.
