⚖️ Team Rating Settings

Open Chess team average cap & unrated floor

Team Average Rating Cap

Max allowed projected average for a 3-player team. Unrated players count as the floor value.

Unrated Player Floor

Rating value assigned to unrated players (FIDE ID = 0) when calculating team average.

ℹ️ Example: Cap = 1850, Floor = 1400.
Team with ratings 2000, 1600, 0 → effective avg = (2000+1600+1400)/3 = 1667 ✅
Team with ratings 2200, 1800, 0 → effective avg = (2200+1800+1400)/3 = 1800 ✅
Team with ratings 2500, 2000, 0 → effective avg = (2500+2000+1400)/3 = 1967 ❌ over cap

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Can foreign players apply for a FIDE ID?

Foreign players must apply through their own national federation. Only Malaysian citizens (MyKad / MyKid holders) may apply through MCF via this form.

What do I enter on the registration form if I don't have a FIDE ID yet?

Enter 0 in the FIDE ID field. Make sure you apply as soon as possible — you must have a FIDE ID before the tournament starts.

How long does the application take?

Processing usually takes 1–2 weeks. Apply early to ensure your FIDE ID is ready before the registration deadline.

I already have a FIDE ID. What should I do?

Enter your FIDE ID number when registering. Use the FIDE player search on the registration form to auto-fill your name and rating.
