Anyone knows how FIDE rapid rating works?

How is it obtained?

How many games are needed for getting a FIDE rapid rating, if I already have a standard rating?

Is it calculated only from games with opponents that already have rapid rating or does it include any opponent with standard rating?

Is the first rapid rating calculated solely from the performance in the tracked period or is it based on the standard rating?

To gain rapid rating, you must play people who already possess a rapid rating.

Additionally, your rating in one time control is completely disconnected from your rating in another time control.

Your performance in those rated rapid games are all that matters.

Hope this helps. :)

Rating calculations are the same as other disciplines. 
You must play in a FIDE sponsored event to obtain their rating.
