there is no such a thing as OTB rating in blitz. So you cannot
compare OTB blitz rating with on-line one.

The USCF has ratings for events as fast as Game-10.

For many years, U.S. GM Walter Browne ran an association dedicated to
blitz chess, which published a magazine and maintained a ratings list.
It's been defunct for a couple years now. Here's a link about it:

When the WBCA folded in 2004, the USCF started rating games as fast as
Game/5 under its 'Quick' ratings system.

Thanks, Mike. Am I missing something, or is the USCF rating info on
the website incorrect ? Nothing I found there mentions anything under
Game-10.
