It's certainly against FIDE regulations. It might end up being rated if FIDE are very kind to you.

Re: Is it legal?
The national Federations are the gatekeepers for FIDE rating. One obvious penalty is that the tournament doesn't get rated.

Re: Is it legal?
You would have to have very convincing reasons for not having registered it seven days in advance, as the regulations require. FIDE are concerned that Federations might only submit tournaments for rating when the results suited them.soheil_hooshdaran wrote: ↑Fri Nov 30, 2018 2:51 pmHello.

A few years ago the organiser of a tournament for which I was the arbiter forgot to register it. It took many hours of my time to sort it out, including submitting the entry form to show that we had intended it to be rated and press cuttings to show that it had taken place as we claimed,
Don't try it, please.

If a Federation regularly tried to register tournaments only after they had taken place, I imagine that FIDE would be likely not to allow them to submit any events for rating.

Re: Is it legal?
Why not say what reasons you think you could possibly have for not registering in advance!?
Then it would be possible to say if they might be convincing, or not.

The circumstances would need to be exceptional. An example would be if the Rating Officer had been unable to register the event because he was in hospital.soheil_hooshdaran wrote: ↑Sat Dec 01, 2018 5:16 amLike what convincing reasons sir?David Sedgwick wrote: ↑Fri Nov 30, 2018 11:33 pmYou would have to have very convincing reasons for not having registered it seven days in advance, as the regulations require.

I have the same difficulty as John McKenna. I can't see why an organiser would not be willing to register a tournament in advance.
