Why NSW did not support the ACF rapid ratings system is a mystery to me. As I understand it, Chess Victoria had a large rapid rating fee that nullified any cost-saving measures brought about by the ACF fees being lifted. All it seems to say is that no state outside of QLD supported the system and if another trial were to be reintroduced in the future it would require more support from most states.

hi Gendo

I invite you to examine this link and you will see that Chess Victoria handsomely supports the rapid-rating service provided by the ACF.

If you agree that this is a reasonable view of the data then we could move to the next question...why such a small use of the service made by NSW and QLD.
