Advance Entry List for the Austin Chess Club Summer Open 2024

All registrations appear automatically. Please allow one to two days for USCF information to be verified, at which point the current supplement rating will be entered. (You may see ratings within sections that seem illogical. Please understand that only after the August rating supplement is finalized and published will players receive their final section adjustments. Rating changes made late July will not affect pairings or section placement.)

It is better to register early and change your section later, than to wait to register!

If your name has a , the registrar has a question about your registration. Please contact the registrar if you have not already been contacted.
If there is no symbol in front of your name, your USCF verification is in process.
