Forfeit Rule for USCF

Sort:

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

Not at all.

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?
