Hello. I’d like to register for this event. However I’m an adult with a rating of 983; and I ddidn’t see the adult 1000-1199 section in the online registration. Am I eligible to enter this even?

Yes, you may… This exception is being made because you are within 50 rating points of the section.

I was wondering if a high school player with a rating of 862 could sign up for the 1000 level section. He has recently gotten back into playing chess but has only been playing in AIA tournaments and hasn’t been able to play in any USCF rated tournaments and raise his rating. Thanks.

How can my son enter tournaments. He wants to do something more than just chess em.?

Mark,
He can register online for any of our tournaments. Go to the schedule page and select your event — then register via our PayPal system. He will need to join the USCF (uschess.org). Thanks!
