2012 USCF Due Changes

The USCF Board of Delegates passed a number of motions in August of 2011 that will directly impact tournament directors, affiliates, and players starting in January of 2012, if not sooner.

Most dues rates were revised slightly. In addition, tournament memberships will be discontinued in January of 2012 and will be replaced with three month trial memberships. The USCF hopes to start offering these three month trial memberships in early October. Like tournament memberships, these trial memberships can only be sold by USCF affiliates at tournaments.
