ECF GRADING

Where have all the X grades gone? Gone to graveyards every one.

ECF GRADING LIST JULY 2015 (revised August 2015)
The list is at http://www.ecfgrading.org.uk/new/menu.php. Our 2015 list, in line with previous years, is the "definitive" August revision which appeared 26.8.15. The August list is merely a snapshot, despite its "definitive" label. Figures are never final. Corrections can change them at any time.
     January grades are omitted: the the twelve-month spacing of lists is retained for comparison's sake, and the figures for players and halfgames graded represent the whole season.
     What's missing? Nothing, as far as is known. The known omissions from the July list have been hunted down and inserted. If any more missing events from 2014-15 come to light they will be held back for the January 2016 list.

For a table going four years further back, see the 2010-11 Grading page. Remember that grades up to and including 2008 are Old Grades. New Grades were introduced in 2009.

NOTE ON TEXT SIZE. If you've got your text set to Large, you may need to reduce it to make the table display correctly.
