[…] been gearing up for my first experience organizing and being Chief TD of (what we hope will be!) a large scholastic tournament.
Neither of the boys (Andrew and Ryan Spiniolas) on my team (Lions) have USCF IDs. The rating given for our other team member (Veronica Campbell) is preliminary, based on 4 games. FYI. Also, we’ve got a phone app that could score the games, would this be allowed? Thanks!
Hi, Kris! Good talking to you on the phone this afternoon.
We did see that as of this evening they did not yet have IDs. There will be registration forms in your team packet. The minimum option for those over third grade is a $7.00 tournament membership, which is valid only for the length of the tournament and must be purchased onsite (though it does generate a USCF ID for the players.) A one year membership (at the non-magazine rate) costs $24 for age 24 and under, $20 for age 15 and under, and $16 for age 12 and under. If they have already purchased memberships before Saturday morning, be sure that they have their USCF ID numbers.
The only electronic scoresheets that are certified for rated play are eNotate (when *not* used on a smartphone,) and MonRoi. If you can tell me the application name and who publishes it, I’ll do some research to see if it might be permissible, but you should plan on it not being approved.
Dear Darren,
You may have noticed the error, but I will report it anyway. In the JH/HS section, the #1 player should have been RAHUL SINHA (12988442). I recall that RISHAV SINHA (13766913) played in the UP section, not in both sections. So two names or IDs were mistakenly entered. In fact the error started in the registration roaster, where both players were associated with the same ID, which is probably what led to the problem. Hope they can be corrected easily.
Thanks,
Harrison (under supervision of parents)
Actually, I hadn’t caught that one yet. You are correct that if both players have the same ID number in the BNASC registration roster it will cause a cascading error which carries through to the upload, as the USCF assigns the player name based upon the ID that is entered. (It doesn’t matter what we put in our name field, USCF cares only about the USCF ID associated with it.) We’ll double-check the rest of the names against the tournament file, get that one corrected with USCF – that too takes manual USCF intervention to change, and then look at Rahul and Rishav’s BNASC setups.
Thanks for the heads up!!!
Thanks again for the notice, Harrison!
The correction has been made at USCF. The event now shows Rahul as the JH player, and the ratings adjustments will appear the next time the USCF does a re-rating cycle (probably next Tuesday.)
