FIDE Ratings:
Five players completed the requirements to earn an official FIDE Rating: Randy Ho, Aishwarya Ganapathy, Victor Powers, Rishin Jehin, and Aubri Wilson. Their ratings will be published in the January FIDE Ratings List.

Nine other players, by playing one or more FIDE-rated players and scoring at least 1/2 point in those games, initiated their FIDE ratings calculations. This means that all they need to do now is play from one to four more games against FIDE-rated players within the next 24 months to earn their official FIDE rating.

Congratulations to all the prize winners and those who made progress on obtaining a FIDE rating.
