  According to the [FIDE Rating Regulations](https://www.fide.com/fide/handbook.html?id=197&view=article), it depends on the player ratings:
  
  > 1.1 For a game to be rated each player must have the following minimum periods in which to complete all the moves, assuming the game lasts 60 moves.  
  > Where at least one of the players in the game has a rating 2200 or higher, each player must have a minimum of 120 minutes.  
  > Where at least one of the players in the game has a rating 1600 or higher, each player must have a minimum of 90 minutes.  
  > Where both of the players in the game are rated below 1600, each player must have a minimum of 60 minutes.
