Important Note! We are requiring proof of a current USCF membership for participation in the Gateway Chess League's USCF rated tournaments. This includes Saturday tounaments run by the Gateway Chess League except when expressly stated otherwise. Proof of current USCF membership is one of the following:
Players without proof of current membership will be required to pay the USCF membership fee ($17 to $25 based on age) in addition to the tournament entry fee, or else they will not be allowed to participate in the tournament.
Tournament advance registration is now available with the online tournament registration forms! Please advance register, as it allow us to get the tournaments started sooner.
Rosters! All coaches need to do the following:
Name USCF ID Rating Grade Bill Woodpusher 11111111 645 7 Mary Pawngrabber 22222222 732 8 ...
Your assistance is appreciated! If anyone can assist with computer entry during registration, it would be most helpful. We would really like four or five people trained to use WinTD to make things run smoother. It would be to your advantage to be trained, because you could then easily use the program to run your own tournaments if you wish. It really is very simple to operate. Please let us know if you are interested in helping and especially if you can put in the time during the first couple of tournaments to assist with registration.
The more the merrier! Please inform us of anyone you think should get this information so we can send it to them. Please send us their name, school, and email address.
Thank you, thank you, thank you in advance for those who can help. We're looking forward to a great season.
