So, here at OTB on chess.com, we are giving people seperate ratings just for the games played in OTB on chess.com tournaments. The rating system we're using is described here : http://chess.ca/cfc-rating-system With a few minor adjustments made....frankly, I don't feel like explaining it right now...Anyways, right now, because we're doing the first tournament now, the ratings are provisional, which means they go up and down very fast, so for the time being they may be inflated or deflated, but it'll probably level out. The ratings become "official by our standards when they have completed all their games in a round of a tourney. "Unofficial" ratings won't count for your highest rating stat.
