Hello,
I was in a local quad and I scored 2.5/3. However, one of the players ids was entered wrong, so instead of me drawing someone 2150, i drew someone approximately 1300. I informed the tds and they reported it. I was wondering, how long will it take to correct? Thanks
The USCF office has a backlog of rating reports to rate and/or correct, so there’s no telling how long it will take. It depends on whether the TD reported the error my mail, email or by phone. I wouldn’t get antsy about it right now. You can check uschess.org/msa/ periodically to see if the correction has been made.
Hope this helps,
Terry
Very low to have it changed. This happens more often then anyone wants to know. Can understand the rating pain of having a draw with a class D player rated when you did get a draw from a high expert, it does take the fun out of a tournament.

Its too bad they can’t just add like 7-10 ratings points to each person in the quad, and some points to the guy whos id number should have been entered. It would be funny if the 1300 were to play again and see his rating went up around 400 points 
I actually read this post on Friday, and almost made the same mistake about putting in the Wrong ID.
What happened with me, was I had 2 players that were not in the USCF downloadable supplement. When using Swissys, I would start to type in their last name, which would populate the USCF ID along with other items. If it’s not found, you would just type in their name, but forget about the USCF ID change.
So how’s the backlog on rating reports? My TD sent in a correction by email where me, a C-player, lost to an 1100 even though I actually won around two months ago. How long is the estimated wait?
I sent in a crosstable which shows it was received over a month ago, now tournaments that were ended and sent in after mine are getting rated. I contacted USCF about this, and they said it would be done no later than today, yet, it’s still not rated?
If you don’t supply any details, it’s kind of hard for me to check on your event.
Events don’t get rated in the order received, they get rated in the order in which they are processed and pass validation. The most likely reason for not passing validation is missing ID’s.
I thought that if there were any problems that USCF would contact the TD.
This was for a May 22nd event called “ZCC Open”
I wonder if the problem have to do with new USCF members, and when I searched in SwisSys, it defaulted the USCF ID to them when it should have been left blank.
Hmmm, nevermind, it got rated. Just didn’t see it on MSA or the rated list.
Sorry about that, thanks.
It looks like we have a problem with the transfer of the crosstable files from the ratings system to the new database server.
That’s why you can’t find the event in MSA, it never got there.
We’re working to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it.
It seems like some corrections get made.
I found this on multiple players MSA
** Rating correction made prior to May 2004
For an example : uschess.org/msa/MbrDtlMain.php?12787646
Does this mean they recently did a correction? And since I was not corrected, is it safe to assume it will be a while?
That’s a message that shows up if the dBase file has a different (and more recently dated) rating than the detailed crosstable file. It’s a way of flagging if not necessarily resolving discrepancies between the tournament records and the member records on the old ratings system.
(And the ‘Before May 2004’ notation is incorrect in this case.)
Since it appears the detailed crosstable file didn’t get processed but
the dBase file did, there are probably hundreds of records marked that way today. That coding should go away once the rate file gets processed.
