GETTING A RATING
A USCF rating is required for participation in any ?rated? event. A player may gain a rating by purchasing a membership to the USCF and participating in ?rated? tournaments. A USCF membership may be purchased ($49) or renewed at the USCF website (www.uschess.org) or at a local affiliate group. Purchasing your membership through your local chess club may earn your club points to purchase additional supplies and awards. Membership allows participation in tournaments and members receive a copy of Chess Life Magazine.

A rating is a representation of a player?s standing vs other players. There are two separate rating systems for over-the-board (OTB) chess (regular and "quick" ratings) and one rating system for correspondence chess. Quick ratings are used for events with time controls of Game/10 to Game/29, and regular ratings are calculated for tournaments with time controls of Game/30 or slower.
