I trying to find more clubs and websites that run uscf tournaments  does anyone know any other clubs or sites?

I imagine this thread will get taken down, but there's an online uscf tourney going on right now on a different site.  GL finding it.  Except for Friday nights, the two sites' USCF tourneys don't overlap.

lol you think this website pretends like other chess websites don't exist or something?

I've seen threads locked because they were talking about icc, but go there if you want an in-progress uscf tourney.

Internet Chess Club runs a ton. Lichess has a few, chesskid has the occasional small event.

Here is one: North Texas Chess Academy has a Sunday afternoon chess.com tournament, 15/2 with an entry fee of 10 dollars.

who are you talking to @RishimaGupta and @Devanshchess2014 ?

The main club is USChess, there is also USChess Members Only which was a smaller attempt at a USCF membership page on here.  The first link was created during the pandemic, where USChess was impressed enough with Chess.com's anti-cheat software that they felt it was good enough to run their official tournaments online!

do you have to be a paying member of ICC to play in a USCF rated tourney

Flocelliere

yes, except during the free trial.

Good question. Also, they shouldn't post their USCF IDs in an open forum...at least, based on my years in the cybersecurity field. And two accounts/people should not be using the same USCF ID, so that also is a bit odd.

I did not see that at first thanks for pointing that out @Kevin_Smithv101 not why both say the same thing same player? or a bot? im not sure it the player read the forum right

USCF IDs are public. You can look up anyone's if you have their real name. Therefore, the reverse is true, if you have someone's USCF ID, you can look up their real name. So if you are intentionally not using your real name in online communications, you might not want to post the ID in public forums; otherwise anyone can associate your real life name with your username.

Makes sense, thanks @mcfrazier

This club has been running online rated events since 2015, well before the pandemic. This club also used to just be called USChess but @SamCopeland  wanted that name for the more open club that would take part in things like the Nations League and other events like that; so this became the Members Only club and the other club started in January of 2020.

Or play in any online rated events with any account you want to remain anonymous, since it's trivial to link to a real person.

I’m pretty sure you can play USChess rated games on Internet Chess Club, some Lichess teams have USCF events too.
