So i used to play in tournaments all the time--three years ago. so my uscf membership expired and my rating was only 1180.now, i am 16, and i am getting back into chess. i renewed my membership and am going to enter a tournament. my question is, will i be put in a section for players uner 1200? even though its so old? thanks in advance. p.s. i am much higher than 1180 now.

You probably will, unless you request to play in a higher one. (Some tournaments let you) Posted ratings are the ones used, even if they are outdated.

One problem with this site is that it doesn't keep people with higher ratings from joining the tournaments for lower rated players.
