The Championship (Open) section is open to all players.
The under sections are open only to players with USCF June ratings under the section cap. Players without official ratings may only play in the Open or Unrated section.
Verified foreign ratings may used if reliable conversion is possible. 50 Points are added to FIDE ratings,
The decision of the chief tournament director is final regarding eligibility, rating adjustments, conversions, unofficial ratings, the CCA minimum rating list or other rating issues. Every effort will be made to start players in the appropriate section, but if an error is discovered late in the tournament it will be corrected. If there is any reason you may not be eligible for the section you entered, be sure to ask for a review before round 1 is paired.
If your rating changes in the June supplement you will be moved up automatically or down on request.
