I have a suggestion.

Hello Everyone,

I would really like to play a 3 I 0 tournament that is USCF Rated. There could be 9 rounds and I think it would be a good addition to this club.

Thanks.

That's not a ratable time control

Even if it was, there are no plans to add additional events

I guess you could make your own affiliate and become a TD and host tournaments... correct me if I'm wrong... but it'd have to be a different ratable time control.

I have my club TD, i would like to know how to do that on here, if it is even allowed.

Any affiliate, with a certified TD, is allowed to run Online rated events.

You would need a private club, only allow verified and current members in, and run ratable time controls.

You would need to get the tournament results converted from the site cross tables to a format usable by the MUIR event submission process, be sure to toggle the Online section toggle there, submit and pay for rating like any other events.

Cool..thanks man

So are we only going to have to participate in arenas with time formats that have been used for the past decade? Maybe it's time to get creative...

Only Swiss events are ratable by US Chess.

As to different potential time controls, during the existing schedule, if there was sufficient demand for a change, it might happen, but in my opinion, predictable events, with known parameters, are better.

Sorry, I didn't know that 3 min isn't a ratable time control.

The lowest base TC is 3 minutes, but it must have at least a 2 second inc or delay. Since online servers don't handle delay, that leaves inc. The minimum base TC without an increment is 5 minutes.
