@Mikecarnevale, I here you dude! I'm in Illinois, not many chess clubs amongst all the cornfields lol. I'm a couple hours from saint louis, that's where I plan on going whenever I get around to it.
I guess we both might need one of these.

I thought that the name you posted in your profile was real and that you didn't know how to look it up.

I don't give out my real one so ppl don't find my house. paranoia is from my mom (sigh) lol
are chess tournaments generally more than one match? or is it- lose and you're out? regardless, i would need some real "otb" experience before tackling a tournament environment

Well there was an expired USCF membership under that name but it said that that person was unrated.

I didn't think someone in the US would have Risa koizumi for their name. always learning something new

Well, it was for Ryoko Koizumi but I thought that Risa might be a diminutive for Ryoko.

how does the chess.com rating compare to USCF?
There is no correlation.
Pretty sure there's a positive correlation...
I'm actually going for day 2 of a 9 round tournament today
i'm at 1858 USCF, going for 1900 in a month or so. I don't play much standard/rapid on here so its pretty low I think around 1690 and my blitz is okay, even though I could do a lot better. Currently around 1730 in blitz

Most chess tournaments that I play in are small round robins (our club does a lot of quads--four player sections) or Swiss System events. Both of these are non-elimination.
Just saying that people who believe there is "no" and 0 correlation between chess.com and OTB ratings R also saying that their chances in an OTB game against a 2500 blitz chess.com member is the same as against a player rated 800. People who have a higher blitz rating will obviously be better OTB. Is it a linear 1:1 relationship? Probably not but of course they r correlated.
