Other things to know: My monthly USCF online chess tournaments will almost always be the third Saturday of every month at 10am PST.  The platform for the chess tournament is chess.com.  Cheating is never tolerated in my tournaments. No camera set up needed. 

Only players with a chess.com account in good standing are qualified to play in the tournament. At any point a player has an account that's been closed, they lose the right to play in the tournament. No exceptions.

Have more questions about the tournament? Attend my LIVE Q&A Zoom meeting on Friday, May 17th at 6:30pm PST. I'll be happy to answer your questions.
