So my daughter joined the USCF but she needs to play 26 games with USCF members to get a rating. How does she find USCF members play with?

She only needs 26 games to get an established rating. One game is enough to get a provisional rating. Right now, if you don't have any OTB tournaments available in your area, the only option is to play online and get an Online Blitz, Online Quick or Online Regular/Slow rating.

There are also some other sites that have online tournaments, through US Chess affiliates, so finding your state and/or local affiliate may give you some options for online play.
Thanks Martin, that’s helpful. I filled the form for her and joined the club, hopefully she’s on the right track.
Online blitz and bullet games will get her a chess.com rating (she has that) but not a uscf rating, right? So is there any way on chess.com she can play games to get get a uscf rating (she needs it to join the chess team at school)
