FIDE Norms - Reports Menu
Displays a list of players and any FIDE title norms they have earned in the current tournament. Also allows printing FIDE norm certificates.
Prerequisites
For norms to be calculated correctly:
- Each player must have their title and federation entered at registration.
- For women’s norms, players must be identified as male or female at registration.
- There must be a sufficient mix of federations and titled players (either overall or among each player’s opponents).
Display Options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Skip women’s titles | When checked, skips women’s title norms (WGM, WIM, WFM, WCM) from the results |
| New titles only | When checked, shows only norms for titles the player does not already hold |
| Use second ID | Use the second ID field for FIDE ID lookup (for tournaments storing FIDE IDs in the second ID field) |
| Use second rating | Use the second rating field for FIDE rating (for tournaments storing FIDE ratings in the second field) |
| Waive federation requirements | Waive the FIDE federation mix requirements in all cases (related to FIDE rule 1.46) |
If you use the second ID and second rating fields to store FIDE data, you can also swap the primary and secondary values at any time using Players > Switch ratings and IDs.
Norm Calculation
Norms are based on:
- The player’s winning percentage
- The average rating of the player and all opponents
- FIDE requirements for unrated player percentage and titled player percentage
FIDE rule 1.46 exempts players in high-rated tournaments from the strict federation mix requirement. SwissSys applies this automatically when applicable.
