1. Effective immediately, USCF ratings will be adjusted based on the performances of all US players in the following events:
A) Olympiad
B) World Team
C) World Championship Cycle
D) World Junior
E) World Youth
F) World Senior
G) Pan-Am Junior
H) Pan-Am Youth

USCF members who represent foreign federations may also have their ratings adjusted if they request this in writing in advance.

2. A formula provided by the USCF Ratings Committee will be used to adjust the ratings, and another to convert opponents’ FIDE ratings into USCF ratings. It is expected that rating adjustment will be based on a K factor about 80% its usual value, causing ratings to change about 80% as fast as usual.

3. A list of which foreign FIDE-rated events will be USCF-rated will appear on the USCF website. Additional events may be added on occasion by the office if adequate assurance is received that we will obtain their crosstables.

4. Any USCF member planning to play in a foreign FIDE-rated event that is not listed on our website may register that event for USCF rating by submitting a form promising to report the results along with a fee of $25.00.

5. If the form mentioned in #3 is received, that event will be added to the website’s list of USCF-rated events for one year only, and all US players in that event shall also have their USCF ratings revised, even if not submitting a form.
