[tournament-org] TournamentEntryGrades

[Geoff Kaniuk]

Thanks Tony.

My experience of collecting results is that the number of players using 
their current rating to set  entry grades is nowhere near 90%.

My experience has also been that not all TD's download the player list 
shortly before the event anyway.

You say you cannot get a date when UK players last changed.  The column 
LAST TOUR in the rating list is exactly that.
