Should we learn from Hong Kong .........
heard that SIXGA is in the process to review our system, if 2 years is too short, could we use 3 years, 4 years or even 5 years ?
if we are not ready for the downgrade after "Position 32", at least we should have a "qualification" system, say to join Singapore Open at least once for every X years.
With the "Number of Years" condition, it is also easier for SIXGA to maintain the list of players in future.

自1999年起,全港個人賽分甲、乙組進行,每屆甲組卅三名及以下將喪失甲組資格,乙組前八名則獲得甲組資格。
自2002年起,制度更改如下,凡香港甲組棋手,如連續兩屆缺席甲組賽事,將喪失甲組資格。即上屆缺席者,今屆若再度缺席將喪失其甲組資格,香港象棋特級大師及香港象棋大師不受此限。
自2003年起,制度更改如下,全港個人賽甲組名次最後百分之二十的棋手將喪失甲組資格,降至乙組,乙 (more...)
The Changes of Singapore Grading System so far ......
1967 -- Introduced Divisions A & B for Singapore Open.
1987 -- Introduced 象棋大师, 甲级棋士 and 乙级棋士 for the players.
1991 -- Introduced 等级分.
When is the next change ?
