Default USCF Rating the Olympiad

USCF Rating the Olympiad

We have been having a debate at USCF Executive Board meetings. Bill
Goichberg wants to USCF rate the Olympiads by adjusting the USCF
ratings of the players by a conversion formula. One of the many
problems with this idea is that Mike Nolan will have to write a
computer program to do this, plus it will take approximately 40 to 50
hours of staff time every two years thereafter.


What's the conversion formula that has to be programmed ?
