The source log recors title attainments and qualifying norm performances. A title is attained after three qualifying norms have been recorded. Titles must be earned in sequence: M before IM, and IM before GM. Norms for different title levels cannot be collected concurrently.
The player-based requirements for each norm are:
M: rating ≥ 1800, win rate ≥ 40%, at least 12 games, and post-event RD ≤ 60.0.
IM: rating ≥ 1900, win rate ≥ 50%, at least 15 games, and post-event RD ≤ 55.0.
GM: rating ≥ 2000, win rate ≥ 60%, at least 22 games, and post-event RD ≤ 50.0.
Additional requirements relating to event divisions also apply.
