I've noticed that an opponents rating can bounce around during the course of a game. When I finish a game, is my new rating calculated based on my opponents rating now or when we started the game?

I'm fairly new to the site, so sorry if this has been asked before.

It's based on the rating your oppo and you have when the game is finished.
