What does the P mean next to my rating?

The letter P next to your rating indicates that your rating is provisional. All new players begin their play with a provisional rating. Once 3 games are completed in the club, your rating will automatically become a standard rating -- The P will disappear and your rating will be established.

Your provisional rating is determined from a blended average of your performance in your first three games. Therefore when observing the statistics, consider that a provisional rating may or may not be a true indication of a player's strength, as provisional ratings can be very volatile for those first 3 games.
