Here's what I was able to find on Chess.com so far about running rated events here:
Hi everyone,
So recently I became a Local TD for USCF, and I would like to start hosting some small events to get started as a TD. However, I have no idea where to start, and the USCF website is very ambiguous in its directions, especially with online tournaments. Can someone here guide me on what I need to do to host an online USCF rated tournament?
First, you need to either have an affiliate or be an authorized TD for an affiliate. If you are wanting to run one on Chess.com, you'll want to set up a private club where you will hold your events so that you can limit account to members with verified and active US Chess accounts, unless you are going to do manually paired events and have the players challenge each other.
There are basic rules in Chapter 11 of the rulebook: https://new.uschess.org/sites/default/files/media/documents/us-chess-rule-book-online-only-edition-chapter-10-8-24-20.pdf
From that point, you would decide if you want to run automatic events using the site pairing system, or manually pair. If you do the latter, you could just use a normal pairing program to generate the pairings and the final files you need to submit to get the event rated. If you use the chess.com system, you can download a crosstable of a completed event and @BirdIA has a video out on how to use that, the published chess.com member to ID list and SwissSys to generate reports:
For club members -
Is there any interest from members of this club to hold online tournaments, either as "daily chess" events or even the chance to run USCF rated events for players in the club.
NOTE: Chess.com USCF events only affect your "Online" rating section associated with your USCF member ID.
