   | How the ASCF Rating System Works 
 The ASCF uses the worldwide popular ELO rating system for its members, named after its creator, Arpad Elo. By playing in tournaments, players achieve a rating, which reflects a player's performance.
 
 The rating of the opponent is a major component of the formula. When your child first obtains an ASCF membership, they will start as an unrated player. After his/her first tournament, your child will have a chess rating.
 
 Every time your child plays in a new tournament, their rating will be updated.  You may use our search function below to see your child's current chess rating.
