How you get a FIDE rating

When you play against rated players in rated tournaments, The rating of all those players gets added up and the average is taken 

EX: Tournament 1

   round 1 = 1500 rated player 

   round 2 = 1250 rated player 

   round 3 = 1600 rated player 

average = 1450 

Now after the average is taken, the amount of points you got from playing the rated players are counted 

EX: 

Tournament 1

round 1 = you play against a 1500 rated player and you get a win

round 2 = you play against a 1250 rated player and lose 

round 3 = you play against a 1600 rated player and lose 

So here you have got 1/3 points playing against rated players  

then the average = 1450 

after that you divide the amount of points you have got by the amount of games you have played (against rated players) 

so here when you divide the amount of points you have got by the amount of games you have played (against rated players) the answer is 0.3 recurring 

here in this table p = you divide the amount of points you have got by the amount of games     you have played (against rated players) 

so in the example i have given p= 0.33 

when you find 0.33 under p, next to it the dp is -125 

now you have to minus the dp (which is -125) from the average opponent rating, which in the example I have taken is 1450 

so then 1450-125= 1325 

1325 is the rating that you will get 

But when you minus the dp from the average opponent rating if the final answer is below 1000 you do not get the rating 

Hope you understand this

Do they keep your rating and the data in your file even if you don't qualify? (If your first tournament resulted in an 800 unpublished rating, do you start over from scratch next time?)
