Note: Organizers previously awarded options for US Chess National Events must still submit proposals (including sample budgets) for their events.


OVERDUE BIDS Please contact the National Office if you are interested in bidding for a National Event. US Chess recommends that bids be submitted according to the following schedule. However, bids may be considered prior to these dates. US Chess reserves the right to decline all bids and organize the event itself.


For our expanded list of national events available for bid, see: www.uschess.org/con tent/view/12116/705/.


RATING SUPPLEMENTS Rating supplements will be updated EACH MONTH on the US Chess website, and each monthly rating supplement will be used for all tournaments beginning in that month, unless otherwise announced in Chess Life. The US Chess website at www.uschess.org also frequently lists unofficial ratings. The purpose of unofficial rat- ings is to inform you of your progress; however, most tournaments do not use them for pairing or prize purposes. If you would otherwise be unrated, organizers may use your unofficial rating at their discretion, even without advance publicity of such a policy.


NOTE The TLA pages “Information for Organizers, TDs, and Affiliates” and “Information for Play- ers” can now be found online atmain.uschess.org/ go/tlainfo.


PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS HEALTH AND BENEFITS FUND Many Grand Prix tournament organizers will contribute $1 per player to the Professional Health & Benefits Fund. All Grand Prix tour- naments which participate in this program are entitled to be promoted to the next higher Grand Prix category—for example, a six-point tournament would become a 10-point (Enhanced) tournament. Points in the top category are pro- moted 50%.
