NO TOURNAMENTS IN YOUR AREA?


WHY NOT ORGANIZE ONE?


Do you need to go out of town for tournament play? Would you and others in your area like the convenience of an occasional event closer to home? Organize one!


It’s not much work to hold a small tournament, and there is little risk if you use a low-cost site and avoid guaranteed prizes. You might even make a profit! Either a based-on Swiss with projected prizes up to $500, a Quad format, or a trophy tournament will virtually guarantee taking in more in fees than you pay out in prizes.


The affiliation fee is just $40 a year. You will receive the annual rating supplement and have access to the TD/Affiliate area of our website.


Remember, you can both run and play in a small event. Many of them wouldn’t be held if the organizer/TD couldn’t play.


Want to know more? Contact Joan Du Bois at joandubois@uschess.org. We’ll be glad to help you be part of the promotion of American chess!
