What is it ment by getting a Grandmaster Norm? or a IM norm? Ihave heard of it before but what is it? is there a norm for class players?
FIDE GM, WGM, IM and WIM norms are only available in FIDE rated events, and then only if the event has the proper time controls. For details, see section 1.0 of the FIDE handbook, fide.com/fide/handbook?id=58&view=article
The closes thing to a ‘class norm’ in USCF events is the norms-based title system. See glicko.net/ratings/titles-0509.pdf
We are collecting data for these titles but until we have a way to display that data on MSA there’s really no way to know what titles someone has earned and how close someone is to a higher title, which makes it a little like double secret probation in “Animal House”, I guess.
