Have I read the grading FAQs correctly regarding the allocation of temp. grades to ungraded players - this is done prior to the final grading run and therefore for the initial grading run they are ungraded and hence games against them are VOID for that first run.

These games do not therefore contribute to determining whether an individual has reached 200up or not?

Rather like games against players that do hit 200up the games against ungraded players may push an individual's final grading change above 200 without them themselves going 200up?

OR does
(quote) "This temporary rating is retrospectively used as the ungraded players grade in the games records of all the opponents of the ungraded player" (end quote)

mean that games against ungraded players with temp gradings do count towards players hitting 200 up.
