ICC Help: survey

--> If you have a USCF rating or a FIDE rating, and an established ICC --> blitz rating, please take part in the survey!

ROBOadmin and POTZY are running a continuous rating survey to collect ICC blitz ratings, USCF regular ratings (not "quick" or postal"), and FIDE ratings from ICC members.

Tell ROBOadmin your ratings. The format is:

tell ROBOadmin ratings <ICC blitz> <USCF> <FIDE>

For example:

        tell ROBOadmin ratings 1834 1785 0
                                |    |   |
                               ICC  USCF FIDE

Put a zero in the correct place if you don't have a USCF or FIDE rating. Please don't submit your ratings if your ICC blitz, USCF, or FIDE ratings are provisional or more than 2 years old. Thanks.

You can see what ratings ROBOadmin has for you: tell ROBOadmin ratings

If you make a mistake, or if your ratings change, you can tell ROBOadmin your ratings again. Your most recent "tell" will be used. This survey will run forever, keeping the statistics updated. Survey statistics are updated after every response from a member:
