As part of a review of members’ benefits, we recently made a change to the main ratings lists, restricting them to UKBGF members only. An unintended consequence has been to create a difficulty for club and tournament organisers who can no longer easily look up non-members’ ratings. Organisers need to be able to do this since entry to some events is dependent on a player’s national rating. We have also listened to feedback from members, TDs, and a discussion on the AO Forum. In light of this, the UKBGF has decided to reverse this change, and as from 17^th October, non-members’ playing history will once again appear in the main ratings lists. Players are reassured that match results and ratings have been updated throughout this change-over, and records of match history are unaffected. Non-members will therefore appear in the ratings lists as if there had been no change.

UKBGF ratings are clearly valued by the backgammon community. The development and maintenance of this and other resources is only possible with the support of subscribing members. Details of how to join UKBGF, and the associated benefits of membership can be found here.
