Rated Beginners Open Different sections for kids and adults All tournaments above, except those that are specified, are USCF rated and require USCF Memberships. Most tournaments at the U.S. Chess Center do not yet employ USCF Rule 5F. That is, time delay clocks usually are not used in tournaments except by mutual consent of the players. In Grand Prix tournaments, however, Rule 5F is used. Please bring your own equipment to all tournaments, including pencils so that you can write down the games you have played. Boards, sets and clocks are not provided. Boards and sets (sometimes clocks, too) may be purchased at our Gift Shop but will not be loaned. When major adult and all scholastic tournaments are over, you may visit the results pages for standings. |
