How do I get a FIDE ID? Play in one of our FIDE tournaments and fill the registration form and we’ll take care of it for you. Alternatively, you can contact USCF and request an ID as well. However, to be officially FIDE rated, one must play five games against previously rated FIDE players, score at least a half point in those games, and have a performance rating of at least 1400.
USCF monthly ratings used for pairings. Default late forfeiture time is one hour. Re-entry is available for half the late fee price.
