Playing Up Policy:
Sections will be determined a few days prior to the tournament. The player will be placed in a section based on their January USCF supplement rating, not live rating (unless they are UNR officially, we may look at live ratings then for reference). You may request to play up if your LIVE rating achieved in 2021/2022 is at least within 50 rating points of the lower limit of the higher section.
Zero Refund Policy:
There are no refunds for this particular event regardless of reason for withdrawal. The only exception is if this event is cancelled by the organizer.
f you registered and cannot make it last minute, please let us know as soon as possible so that you are not paired against someone who will then be forced to sit around and wait without an opponent.
