o       Most Improved: Player ratings will be tracked beginning with their official (ratings supplement) rating as of 1/1/10 and ending with their official rating as of 12/31/10. Players with provisional ratings will not be eligible until they have an established rating. A player must have played 16 rated games at the club during 2010 to be eligible. The players who gain the most rating points during this period will win the prizes.
