Ratings Question

I have a question about ratings.  When are ratings updated?  I'm in a tournament, and I won my first game (of two) against a specific opponent.  I won based on time, not by making any moves.  My rating is unchanged, even though my record is now 1-0-0.

1) Does the rating calculation skip games where the other player doesn't make a move?  (If so, I think that's a great rule.)  (BTW, I have mixed feelings about having the game even show up on my permanent record, even through I understand why it needs to be on the tournament record.)

2) If not, does the rating calculation wait until both games are played?

The rating updates immediately upon the win.
