XG GRADES EXPLAINED

INTRODUCTION
XG Grades are an adaptation of the National Grade System (NGS) implemented by the English Bridge Union. A National Grade (NG) is an assessment of the playing standard of all affiliated members. Full details of the EBU NGS is available here.https://www.ebu.co.uk/documents/miscellaneous/ngs/full-guide.pdf

NGS CONCEPTS AND CALCULATIONS
A players NG is based on their club and tournament results over their last 2000 boards played. For the typical player, this amounts to about 80 sessions.
