uscf ratings?

how many people here play tournaments over the board and have uscf ratings? what's your rating and how closely does it parrallel your redhotpawn rating. i've never played a tourney but am considering it.

I've played in quite a few tourneys. Nationals are a lot of fun, there are a couple uscf tourneys in my state but not to big of ones. I'm going to Nashville this year for nationals, can't wait 😀. I've got a uscf rating of 1208 currently but I played in a tourney about 2 months ago so it still might go up or down, not sure which way. Hope ya decide to play in a tourney 🙂.

My USCF is 1830. My RHP is a little above. My blitz is about 1500. The faster I play, the worse I am, although I enjoy both blitz and correspondence. they both have their charms.

My USCF rating is 1735 or something like that, but OTB I think I am a bit stronger, depending on the time controls.

my USCF is about 1250, my RHP hovers around 1600

I get significantly worse at faster time controls.
Realistically, I believe I play OTB at about 1450 (regardless of "official" rating)

I used to play all over the states as a junior, was rated 2125 at one time.

I play mostly G/30 tournaments in my local area. I think G/30 games are great fun and also more relaxing than G/90 or G/2h. I dont have uscf ratings, but my national rating is nowadays around 1800. I hope my RHP rating will catch it soon.
