I had a game today for which my opponent didn't show up and I won by forfeit. How will my USCF rating be affected?

Thanks

Yup, you will receive the game point but it will not affect either your opponent's or your's ratings.

^ What they said.

Btw, if your opponent doesn't show up does it also not count for tie-breaks?
