Ratings
As of July 2021, the LMS has the following available gradings:Once the online ratings have been fully migrated to the over the board rating system there will potentially be 60 ratings available = 5 ( otb standard and rapid, online standard, rapid and blitz ) x 12 months. So we have to decide if we want the LMS to support more of these.
