PLEASE NOTE: For all tournaments, adjusted FIDE or foreign ratings, if higher than USCF, may be used for foreign or recently foreign players. Players must disclose FIDE or foreign ratings when entering, or may later be expelled. Other ratings such as club, league, scholastic, state or province, etc, adjusted if appropriate, may be used at our discretion if above USCF. No rating below the latest official USCF rating, on the list corresponding to the ending date of the tournament, will be used. For 9 round events offering title norm possibilities, FIDE ratings are used. Click here for further details.

UPDATE: FREE ENTRY
PRIZES
Players who won CCA free entry prizes in
scholastic tournaments may use them to enter our online tournaments if these
tournaments have guaranteed (not based on entries) prizes. Free entry status
that was to expire in April through June 2020 is being extended through August
15,
2020.
UPDATE REGARDING
CORONAVIRUS:
Some of our events are being
cancelled. All tournaments now have prizes based on entries.
Please watch
this page for updates rather than asking us if an event is canceled.
If an event is held, please note the following:
Players will be told to not
shake hands before or after play.
Players are asked to bring and use hand sanitizer
and extra sanitizer will be available.
Players who appear to be ill may be removed from the
tournament.

SPECIAL ADDRESS
FOR DROPOUTS:
We receive so
much email that it is difficult to keep track of important messages, such as
those regarding players who have entered a tournament but will be unable to
attend. To simplify this task, we have set up a special email address for
mail regarding such withdrawals. It is DropoutsAtChess.US (use the @
symbol instead of "At."). Please use this address for the following purposes:
1. To notify
us that you will not be able to attend a tournament that you entered. This
should be done at least 2 hours before your first game.
2. To inquire
about a credit or a refund from a past tournament you entered but did not
attend.
SPECIAL ADDRESS FOR
PRIZES:
We
have a new email address for mail concerning prizes that were not claimed
at tournaments. It is PrizesAtChess.US (use the @ symbol instead of "At.") To
contact us regarding a prize due, please use this address so that we do not
have to search for your mail among hundreds of other emails.

To avoid huge ballroom rent,
most of our tournaments count on having many players use guest rooms at the host
hotel, and asking for the chess rate gives the tournament credit. For all
tournaments, please stay at the tournament site whenever possible and ask for
the chess rate. Thank you for your help!
