Please let us know how we can help improve your chess experience! \n\n\n🧮 Please see the MSCA Unrated Policy to learn how rating may be determined from USCF live/online or FIDE ratings. \n\n\n🚨 Published unrated players who possess FIDE ratings MUST disclose their FIDE rating. See the MSCA Unrated Policy. \n\n\n⏱️ Forfeit time: A player who has not shown up to their game 30 minutes after the tournament directors start the round will receive a forfeit loss and be removed from the event\, unless they inform the TD they wish to continue playing. (Players who are late on their second offense may be removed.) \n\n\n\n\n\n🛡️ The MSCA recognizes the importance of a safe and hospitable environment at our chess events.  To promote this type of environment\, the MSCA has developed a Policy on Safe Play & Conduct.  The MSCA also follows US Chess guidelines for training TDs with materials developed by the US Center for SafeSport.  To support a safe and hospitable environment\, the MSCA reminds all chess participants and attendees that they are responsible for their actions\, and that parents/guardians of minors are responsible at all times for the welfare and safety of their children/dependents. \n\n\n🎟️ You can pay for a new US Chess membership or renewal during registration\, but note that this payment won’t be applied until event time. It may be best to sign up directly with US Chess today. There are options for new members (get a new USCF ID and pay) and for existing members (already have an ID) to create a website login. If you already have a login/ID\, you can use it to pay for a renewal.
