Question

Hello. Last Monday I tried to join the USCF tournament  (10|0 time control). And a messaged poped up saying I couldn't join and I had to refresh the page or something like that . . . . . .  I refreshed the page a lot and nothing worked, at the time I was in this club. CAn you please give me a tip on what to do for next time..? thanks|-|-|-Squealingnickel

My guess is that your rating was not within the constraints required to join the tournament.

first of all you need to be a USCF member. then you apply for the club. it has a goofy name related to the USCF. when they approve, then you can join the uscf tourneys

Um.. yeah. I have a USCF... am I applied for this club and sm IN this club and it was the open section i was trying to get in..

Im unsure, but what I know is longer controls are better!

When did you try to get in? If it was later in the tourney, the last open slot may have been filled.

If it was early in the tourney and you had the live session open already when your request was approved, you may have needed to exit live and enter again for the system to successfully see the membership.

was it U1450

I was there when he tried to join. It was open, and there were only like 40 people or something. He chated and asked why it does'nt let him join but no one answered. Maybe it was a glitch. If not, Something had to be wrong.

Maybe his thing in USCF ran out

No.. I have been playing onlinec USCF tournaments on ICC as well . so am pretty sure it didn't expire.. 

Oh

Maybe it was a glitch

All that matters is club membership. If you were in Live already when you were approved, you would have needed to close out of live and re-enter for it to recognize you were in the club.

Oh, maybe that's the case. thanks!
