The question he seems to raise has to do with rating games between USCF
members
in non-USCF events, and I see no reason why he can't do that, if USCF rates
other games in non-tournament settings, which I believe they do.

Again, you are wrong. The USCF only rates tournaments and matches. The
rules with respect to matches are strict because matches have often
been abused for rating purposes in the past. A one-game match cannot
be rated. Tournaments can only be rated if recognized pairing rules
are followed. An assortment of random games cannot be collected
together and sent in as a tournament.

These rules have been well established for a long time. Again, you
should not make remarks until you have read up on the rules.

I said I wasn't current on the rules, but I recall that there was something
about rating individual matches between two players.

Do you have a citation on the bylaws that supports your claim? I'm just
curious and couldn't care less about any of the parties in this case.
