It is good to have one common system for all ages, we study ....
the grading system of 汕头棋院 (11 grades for the youth) too, have a look at Hong Kong System (more than 20 grades in total).
May be it is easier for Bishan to try out our 12-grade system for all age groups within the club.
Furthermore, we are not having a separate system if you look at the condition in details, e.g.
Grade 1 = Grade A of SIXGA from SIXGA Group A competiton each year
Grade 2 = Grade B of SIXGA from SIXGA Group B competiton each year
Grade 3 = Positons 5 to 8 of SIXGA Group B competiton each year
Grade 4 = Positions 9 to 12 of SIXGA Group B competiton each year
other grades just to take care of various age groups competition of Char Yong Cup organised by SIXGA in March each year.
Complimentary system
Is this system proposed to SIXGA? The Grade 3 onwards is an interesting idea. The system should blend in with the current SXIGA rating rather than a new entity of its own.
If not, will be wierd if each club has its own system. (E.g. Bishan Grade 1 vs Kampong Glam Grade 1, rather than Bishan JiaJi vs Kampong Glam JiaJi)
What do you all think?
