Call for Tournament Directors ...
The Boylston Chess Club
Needs Your Help
Dear Boylston Chess Club friends,
Happy New Year! We wish you all the best in 2023!
Thank you for the good response to our recent request for tournament directors (TDs). Nevertheless, we still need more TDs to keep offering a wide variety of tournaments each month.
Our small core group of currently active TDs is stretched quite thin, and we cannot run as many events at our beautiful new site as we would like due to insufficient (wo)manpower.
Please consider becoming a certified USCF tournament director, if only to act as an assistant TD from time to time.
The certification process is extremely straightforward:
1) Read the USCF rulebook (USCF Official Rules of Chess), available at the club or online, e.g., on Amazon
2) Fill out and return the following form to the USCF: Form
You can start learning the logistics of directing by shadowing/helping any TD during a tournament at the club.
Parents, please consider helping out as a TD occasionally to keep the tournaments we all enjoy running smoothly. For example, perhaps
you can help direct while your child plays to help support the club's contributions to scholastic chess.
Finally, whether or not you choose to become a tournament director - please consider serving as a liaison to the USCF, to deal with the
formalities of running USCF Grand Prix tournaments and/or to post our tournaments on the US Chess website online to raise awareness
nationwide of our tournaments.
Please feel free to contact us or any other TD if you have any questions. We look forward to working with you.
