TD Certification Rules Updated

The Tournament Director Certification Rules were recently updated to clarify that most categories need to be "over-the-board" events and to add substitutions relating to the use of online events for meeting experience requirements for upgrading to various TD levels.

For a quick reference, the new substitutions available are as follows:

• Local TD, 26b, b4
• Senior TD, 30b, b9
• Associate National TD, 34b, b3
• National TD, 38b, b3
