Hi Andy
You have gotten the wrong of the stick :-)
Am not asking about, or questioning, the procedure of importing FIDE graded events into the CS system: rather I was asking if Dougie can confirm that the FIDE APA events are graded differently by FIDE in that players without a grade prior to the event are assigned a start grade, based on their performance in the event. I am unsure why this is acceptable in APAs and not in SWISS events. I doubt if it makes a big impact it just seems strange thats all.
