Tournament Directors Information


Welcome to USCF's new Membership and Tournament Registration Store

The membership and tournament entry webstore has been completely redesigned, we think you'll find it easier to use than the older version of our JOIN/RENEW/ENTER. You will now be able to join, renew and enter our national events in real time from the US Chess website! You will receive confirmation of your charge, a receipt you can print and if you joined or renewed you can print out your temporary membership card!

We are excited to offer this new feature to you. While it has been carefully tested, if you have any problems with it, please contact us by e-mail or phone.

This new program represents many new features we will be offering our members in the near future!
