What are the factors that influence the points for winning/losing a game?

There are currently 51,000 registered USCF members (doesn't include those that play chess but don't participate in tournaments.) Chess is a very popular game (some would argue its a sport, and trust me playing a 4 hour game followed by a 30 min break and another 3+ hour game gets to you) worldwide mainly in Russia and other countries that made up the Soviet Union. I play chess actively and competitively myself and would be curious to see if chess correlates with outwitters in any way in term of ELO and outwitters league placement. In fact, outwitters might help your chess in terms of calculation.
