If an event is not listed on the National Events Calendar for a given year, it is available for bidding in that year.  Please consult the bidding guide to see if an unlisted event is past the bidding deadline given for that event.


NOTES:

US Chess reserves the right to decline all bids, to accept a bid prior to the bidding deadline, and assume organizational duties for any of its National Events.
