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.

USCF Voter Registration

This year in order for members to vote, members MUST register, or their voice will be lost in the election. This new rule was approved at the 2010 Delegates meeting. No Vote, No Voice!

Normally there are over 35,000 voting members that would receive ballots. So far only 1216 people have registered to vote!  Voters must be 16 years of age or older to register. Remember family memberships are entitled to vote for anyone that is 16 or older in that family membership!

To register to vote, members will need their USCF ID, Date of Birth, and their PIN number. Their PIN number can be found on their Chess Life mailing label or on their TLA Newsletter. Once this information is handy visit this website - https://secure2.uschess.org/voter-registration.php and they will be able to register to vote.

USCF Dues Increase

The USCF recently passed a motion to increase two and three year regular adult dues effective January 1, 2011. These rates should have been increased a year ago when the one year rate was increased from $29 to $34, but that was left out of the motion. Two year regular adult memberships will go from $52 to $63. Three year regular adult memberships will go from $74 to $91.

In both cases those are the rates for memberships submitted online. Memberships submitted by mail or phone are $7 higher.
