Hi Daniel,
I have a similar question as Matt, with an additional wrinkle:
My USCF membership is not current (expired 15+ years ago *laugh*) – is it possible to go ahead and register for $15 (adult 1400-1699), and then pay for both the registration and USCF renewal on site?
Thanks!

Mike,
You can email Register@AmericanChess.net with all of your information; however, we would request that you go to http://www.uschess.org — this exact link http://main.uschess.org/component/option,com_wrapper/Itemid,323/ — should work, and renew online.
Thank you!

Hello Daniel, I registered my kids ( Rahul Puranam and Rishik Puranam ) for the Master Trek event on the Jan 14th. Something came and they cannot make it. Can we able to use the existing funds for the Feb 11th Master Trek event?
Please let me know. Thank you!

Hi again,
Hate to bother you with this, but is there any way to verify registration? I sent in the email this morning as requested, but haven’t received a reply nor can find any way on the website to check a registration list.
Thanks,
Mike Mast
