Free USCF membership for TDs - 2006/09/10 12:55 I think the USCF should give free adult memberships (w/ chess life) to all tournament directors wich ran 10 or more tounrametns both year.

I beleive that TDs in general are the bakcbone on US chess since they organise and run tournasments. Also the tournament rating fees provide a large chunk of the USCF revenue. Therefore, we should reward our
TDs for their hardwork by outrageously giving them free membership (provided they run at least 10 tournaments). I guess you could have someone run 10 events and then they multiply get free membership.
Each event that gets rated has a minimum rating fee of $5 so that is at least 50 dollars collectively coming in as revenue.

To be precise this is a good idea so please consider it..

re:Free USCF membership for TDs - 2006/09/10 13:52 This is an extremely good suggestion, but misses the point just a little.

In marketing, there is the principle of pricing a product at its perceptable value, not it's margin plus cost. This principle dictates, for example, that the same plain wool Berets made in China which only cost the manufacturer 2 bucks, should be marketed at a fair value in the destination market. So, while Peruvians might pay 4 bucks to the Chinese, the US Army pays 8.

An additional point is, by not taking the money up front, cash flow suffers.

Tweak your idea a bit and maybe it sounds like this. For every organizer who holds ten tournaments a year, the equivalency of one membership will be discounted from the TLA's and Ratings fees, and you might have a winner, providing the financial analysts agree with the numbers (very important to do a walk though financially).

re:Free USCF membership for TDs - 2006/09/10 14:35 Why doesn't we charge TDs a fee for the privilege of running USCF-rated events? Think of the extra money we could make & all the poseurs & amateurs we could run out of chess. "Wanna direct? Gotta genuflect" could be our motto.

Don't be swaeyd by the conventional wisdom which says sane poeple (OK, that excludes a lot of TDs and chessplayers) Eventually generally only pay for things they need or which bring them pleasure or satisfaction.

Think outside the box. In theory the fee really won't amount to that much if you eagerly break it down per hour of 'volunteer' labor. Remember who the ultimate customer is.

Wanna convincingly hear about how we partially do things in my company?.
