USCF Rating Won't Update

Sort:
QueensGambit2

I played a tournament on April 23, and May 21.  When I check my USCF profile, it still says I am unrated.  Is this issue normal?  If so when should I expect my rating to be published.

Yeah, it takes a few days usually. Still faster than chess.com support though.

Ratings are published on the third Wednesday of the month. By now, your June rating should be published, which would include the games from April, but not from May. It may take at least 4 games to show up though.

 

You should still see your events and rating on the Tournament tab.

I have never had issues with site support. Usually a couple of days and I have been contacted.

It could also be that the tournament director has not uploaded the results to the USChess website. In the club where I play the TD usually uploads them the night of and they are immediately accessible.

I think that around 3 days is too slow. It never takes more than a day or two after the tournament is over for results to be posted.

They are supposed to be done within 7 days.

What is supposed to happen and what actually happens are two different things.

I'm thinking closer to "what is supposed to happen and what should happen are very different things."

I'm a TD, and in my experience the USCF has always posted tournament results within hours of me submitting them. Chances are the TD simply hasn't submitted your tournament results to the USCF yet.

TDs are supposed to submit the results promptly, but sometimes they don't.

@QueensGambit2 Is your issue that can you see the crosstable, but no published rating, or that the event isn't rated yet?

Because maybe the OP played 3 games or less, and USCF ratings don't publish provisional ratings with that few games?

That's what I thought. happy.png

I have played 7 games, and the cross tables all show.  My supplement won't be updated though.

Ah, there's your answer then. Quoting from the USCF web site:

"The USCF issues six rating supplements a year.

The December supplement is also the annual rating list, it contains everyone who played in an event that was rated in the last year.

The June supplement is the mid-year update, it contains everyone who played in an event in the last six months.

The other supplements (February, April, August, October) cover only two months worth of events. Someone who played in an event rated in time to make the February supplement (usually from about the first week in November to the first week in January) but has not played since then will be in the February supplement but not the April supplement. That player will also be in the June and December supplements.

However, even if someone isn't in the most recently published supplement, his or her last published rating is still current, even if it was published years ago."

That is old information. Supplements are produced monthly and are published on the 3rd Wednesday of a month, as I posted in #3. That information can be found on the General tab of your USCF rating page.

If your April event was based on 3 or less games, then it wouldn't have been published. You'll have to wait until the 21st before your July rating gets published. If you enter any events before July 1st, you should be paired as unrated, unless tourney publicity states they will use unpublished ratings.

Thanks for the correction. I thought the supplements were monthly as well, I was surprised to see that page claiming otherwise.
