MCF still deploys a floor rating of 1000 and uses primarily the FIDE Rapid Rating (adjusted to match) and only refer to the FIDE Standard Rating when there is no Rapid Rating available. As opposed to FIDE Rating, MCF Rating only requires for a player to play one rated game to earn an MCF Rating point. However, if the rating goes below the floor rating of 1000, then the player will be considered as Unrated and will have to start all over again to earn his/her rating.

For 2023, there were 93 events that were classified as MCF Rated.

Persatuan Catur Negeri Melaka led by Muhammad Khairy Jansar and MCF CIO Iwan Schani Ibnu are a few honorable mentions that have also helped to popularize the use of MCF Rating system.
