Well, Space Coast Go member folks, your patience has paid off. The rankings from the First Ever etc., etc., Tournament have finally come back. We now have official ratings for the participants.
Now, please, do not ask me how these ratings were derived. For all practical purposes, you can just assume that some black magic formulation and the reading of chicken entrails was involved. Remember, I just report these results. I had no hand in determining them.
So, we find that:
Jake Seo 4.73233 dan
Dan Micsa 3.35195 dan
Bart Lipofsky 10.93407 kyu
Jay Hockman 12.44436 kyu
Fred Ungewitter 14.40145 kyu
Mike Clark 14.92947 kyu
George Lebovitz 15.18176 kyu
Lajos Najy 16.16503 kyu
Attila Ondi 22.68476 kyu
Sean Esposito 26.44034 kyu
Ginnie Ungewitter 29.62996 kyu
Stephen Schneider 30.54773 kyu
I am assuming that these rankings can form the basis for both handicapping future games and determining rankings for other playing members who play against (now) rated members. I leave this to wiser heads (such as Attila and Dan).
In the meantime, congratulations to all who participated and hope to see many of you at our game on Saturday, December 7th.
