Anyway, I'd rather not be included in any more of the discussion on this thread. I'm sorry if this causes you any problems.

hi Egor

I do appreciate the awkwardness of your position. And I will not ask you to pursue further.

The second sentence in your post relates to the concepts of 'churn' and 'short-stay' in the junior demographic. Both 'churn' and 'short-stay' reduce the value of allocating a file-identifier, and calculating a rating for many juniors; but these problems are common with any rating service.
It is certainly a problem for the GURU in Victoria in the private rating service that he runs outside the official ACF system. He seems to be prepared to expend the energy running his private service even though the official ACF service would only cost him $1 per player for a seven-game tournament.
I am bemused by those who get spooked by the 'churn' and 'short-stay' difficulties. These difficulties are well-handled efficiently by the official ACF rapid-ratings service which Victoria will continue to support significantly, in contrast to all but the (similarly minded) ACT.

regards
MOZ
