Getting Started as an Organizer

Organizer Onboarding

There are two ways to get started as an organizer on ChessRoster:

1. USCF Affiliate Organizations: If you represent a USCF affiliate that has not yet been claimed in our system, you can claim your organization if you are an officer or authorized member.

2. Non-USCF Organizations: If your chess organization is not a USCF affiliate, please contact support to be onboarded.

Once your organizer profile has been established, you can add other officers and tournament directors to help manage tournaments. Players do not need to be added to your organization directly - they will register themselves when signing up for tournaments.

Check if your organization has been claimed or claim it now

Online Registration Requirements

To accept online registrations through ChessRoster, organizers must:

• Link to a PayPal account (personal or business account depending on your needs)
• Set registration fees of at least $1.00 per registration
• Accept all terms and conditions
• Agree that they are solely responsible for refunds to participants
• Understand that PayPal and ChessRoster fees are nonrefundable

These requirements ensure secure payment processing and a smooth registration experience for both organizers and players.
