Does anyone know where I could get comprehensive statistics on USCF ratings? Averages...std deviation, etc.?

Have you ever noticed that the answer to about 93% of all questions asked on the internet is 'google'.

Thanks for the link. Yea, I suppose I should have googled first.

I'm going to try and build a system to compare RHP ratings to that. I'll post it here when I have the results. Might be a while though, between 24 hours of classes.

93%? Come on. You can use statistics to prove anything. 74% of people know that.

Studies has shown that excactly 64.9% of all statistics is faulty.

I didn't use google for this one. It's something I know.

Unfortunately 98% of those studies were also faulty.

Well, assuming that USCF isn't lying about their statistics, I think we should be good. I'll post the graphs, numbers, and code here so you guys can critique me for any flaws in my system, and that way perhaps we can develop a way to semi-accurately compare RHP ratings with USCF ratings, under the assumption that the average player strength is the same here as in USCF, and that the distribution of player strength is the same here as USCF.
