    RATINGS USED FOR FOREIGN PLAYERS
    IN CONTINENTAL CHESS ASSOCIATION EVENTS:

    Foreign player rating rule: Adjustment points (see below) added to FIDE and most foreign ratings. See separate charts for Quebec. Germany, Philippines, UK, China. No points added to CFC (Canada), Jamaica, Bahamas, Bermuda. Highest of multiple ratings are usually used. No player may ever play below his or her latest official USCF rating, even if that rating is provisional.
    Players who fail to disclose foreign or FIDE ratings may be expelled. Tournaments offering FIDE norm possibilities use FIDE ratings only in the top section, with no adjustment.
    Provisional ratings, based on 4 to 25 games, are considered to be ratings. Provisionally rated players are not unrated.

    Definition of a foreign player for purposes of this rule:
    A) A player who is listed with FIDE as representing a federation other than the US and lacks an established USCF rating (26 or more games) is considered a foreign player.
    B) A player who is listed with FIDE as representing a federation other than the US and has an established USCF rating (26 or more games) may or may not be considered a foreign player, at the discretion of the tournament director.
    C) A player who has no FIDE rating, has a foreign national rating, and lacks an established USCF rating (26 or more games) is considered a foreign player.
    D) A player who has no FIDE rating, has a foreign national rating, and has an established USCF rating (26 or more games) may or may not be considered a foreign player, at the discretion of the tournament director.
    In cases involving the director's discretion, the following factors are among those that may be considered: 1) The number of games on which the player's rating(s) are based, 2) The number of recent games on which the player's rating(s) are based, 3) The current and past residence of the player. The decision of the director regarding which rating to use is final.

    Re: Ratings used for foreign players in continental chess association events:

    I guess this is what you get when players from all over the place are playing for large class prizes.
    I'm not sure how much of this is based on sound statistics and how much is attributable to ensuring that USCF members aren't disadvantaged.
    The corrections at the lower rating levels for FQE and FIDE ratings seem excessive.
    Guidance to TDs at the bottom is important for players with multiple ratings. It is not always accurate to take the highest rating for players with multiple ratings.
    Good to see CFC accepted at par.
