Scoring question

When calculating points, does it take into to account the ratings when the game was initiated, or when the game is finsihed. I was just wondering , because if it is on a definite final move (i.e. either checkmate win or resignation loss), people can delay that move for a more favourable result rating-wise

I can say for sure that rating is calculated with finished games ratings: I started 2 tournament games with the same player and in the same moment and at the end of those games,which was in different days with different ratings, decreasing of rating has been different.
