When Are USCF Ratings Updated?

Sort:

So this is kind of a dumb question but I was a bit confused so I thought I'd ask... Does anyone here know when or how often USCF ratings are updated? I played in a tournament on the 28th of May and my rating hasn't gone up. When should my rating be posted onto USCF? If it helps at all, I played 5 games.

It depends. First the tournament director needs to submit the tournament to the USCF then the event goes through processing and eventually gets rated. The quickest rated event I have ever played in was rated with a few hours. One tournament took two weeks. But it mainly depends on when the TD submits the event to the USCF. Btw, I speak from major experience when I say that just because your rating hasn't gone up yet, doesn't mean that the tournament hasn't been rated :) Anyways, hope this helps!
