Tournament coverage — 2017-2018
Which TOC bid tournaments this season's ratings are built from, in calendar order. Older seasons predate Tabroom's current export formats, so some results could not be collected; anything listed as missing is absent from the ratings.

- This season's own bid list is no longer published anywhere, so Elo tournament weights use the 2014-15 bid levels (recovered from the Internet Archive), which the bid structure closely tracked. A few tournaments with no 2014-15 counterpart default to the Quarters weight.
- Stanford: a 'Stockdale HS' entry could not be matched to any listed team; its six rounds are recorded as byes.
- Bronx Science: a 'Mamaroneck ZK' entry matches no listed team; its round is recorded as a bye.
