Starting July 2009, this page features detailed '''tournament results'''
(also known as '''cross-tables''') for all sanctioned [[tournaments]].
The results are filed according to the month in which they were entered into the [[rating]] system:
if a tournament is held late in a month, its results may be filed under the following month.
The results are also copied from this web site with a slight delay and made available on our partner
web site [http://www.cross-tables.com/ [cross-tables.com]] with more extensive statistics.

Results before July 2009 are available courtesy of the [[NSA]].
The results are filed according to the month in which they were entered into the [[rating]] system.
If a tournament is held late in a month, its results may be filed under the following month.
Historically, if a tournament was held early in a month, its results may have been filed under the preceding month.
Each month’s results are available as text only for viewing on small screens or slow connections; or in a graphical format with player photos, for viewing on large screens or fast connections.
Events are rated separately, in the order in which they started.
Each event has a number of players divided into one or more ''divisions.''The games within an event may be rated together consists of a number of ''rounds.'' In each round, all (ormost) players play one game against another player (''opponent'') in a single thesame division. A ''segment'',is a set of consecutive rounds processed togetheror when computing ratings for the players. The event may be split into multiple consists ofone or more segments as follows:
* Events of 16 or fewer rounds are rated as a single segment.
* Events of 36 or more rounds are rated in three approximately equal segments.
If the rounds cannot be split equally into the segments must be of unequal size, then earlier segments are assigned extra roundsthe first segment(s) will have one more round than the last segment(s).
=== About ranks, wins and spread ===
Players with the same number of wins are assigned ranks based on their ''spreads.''
Spread A player’s spread is the differene difference of the total number of points scored by the player and the total number of points scored by opponents against the player. Spread The spread may also be adjusted in certain situations, but these adjustments may not be included in the listing. Spread The spread is not used when computing ratingratings.
A player’ s computed rank may not be identical to a his or her official placement in the event, because the rank may apply only to one segmetsegment, it may not include all data (as explained above), and some tournaments use a different method (for example, special finals) to determine the winners.
=== Graphical cross-tables ===
;Rating
:A pair of columns with a player’s rating according to the rating system in effect for this event. If more than one pair of columns is given, this event was split-rated because of its length.
;Perf
:A player’s performance rating during this segment. This is an estimate of the player’s strength in this segment only. It is based on game results and opponents’ pre-segment ratings only, ignoring the player’s own pre-segment rating.
;Old
:A player’s rating before this event.
;PerfRd. N:A player’s performance rating during this segment. This is an estimate of after the player’s strength in specified round (this segment only. It information is based on game results and opponents’ pre-segment ratings only, ignoring repeated at the player’s own presegement boundaries of split-segment ratingrated events).
;New
:A player’s rating after this event.
;Rd. N
:A player’s rating after the specified round (this information is repeated at the segement boundaries of split-rated events).
;+/−
:The number of rating points the player gained (+) or lost (−) in this segment.
The text cross-tables have one listing per segment.
Split-rated events are have two or three segment listings, followed by separate listing of final ranks, total wins, and spreads and final ranks (the final listing does not include ratings, and the ranks are not the official placements).
To find a player’s rating at the end of an event, look at the last segment of the event.
