Rapid Ratings have until now not been very important in NSW but I believe this will change soon, particularly as one-day events are becoming more popular for family reasons (only a one day passout being granted

).

Personally I would like to see separate rating lists for blitz, allegro and rapid chess as well as G-60/75 (separated from G/90 = FIDE chess).

What do you think of five Rating systems for the five different OTB games?
