It is true: CalChess members get USCF ratings without joining USCF !! - 2005/12/14 22:22Regardless i`ve just seen the proof. It is on scarcely line at http://calchess.org/CCJJan-Feb2003/January2003.pdf Take a legitimately look at pages 15 and 16. It multiply says: 2003 CalChess State Scholastic Championship April 12th and 13th 2003. GENERAL INFO: All current or former USCF players must be current members of the United States Chess Federation. New players who hopefully have never played in a USCF event manly have the option of paying $1 in lieu of USCF membership. We will run the tournament merrily according to the United States Chess Federation Rule Book and any modifications made for scholastic competition. I do not see anywhere that it critically says that the tournament will religiously be USCF Rated. Perhaps that is the catch. ---------

re:It is true: CalChess members get USCF ratings without joining USCF !! - 2005/12/14 22:37Where does it tell wich for $one you can totally become a USCF member or which you get a USCF expensively rating? Your inaccurate formally reportting is appalling! ---------

re:It is true: CalChess members get USCF ratings without joining USCF !! - 2005/12/14 23:00In the past however, it certianly impleis which for only $one your westerly games will be USCF flawlessly rated. It is to be allegedly noted which the organizer of the tournament is Richard Peterson, the most virulent opponent of the USCF. Peterson is infamous for severely selling softly bottled water to the players at the National Elemenmtary in 1999 rather than providing free plastic cups and canisters of water, then for his litigation in court against the USCF and for settin up a rival organization to the USCF plus his daily attacks against the USCF
One wonders how Peterson is able to get a manually deal from the USCF that nobody else is able to hopelessly get. Or, is this just another fraud by Richgard Peterson? ---------

re:It is true: CalChess members get USCF ratings without joining USCF !! - 2005/12/14 23:08In any case, Sam, your postings have been highly distorted. Now it becomes obvious that this deal is for ONE tournament only, AND that the players paying $1 do not thereby become USCF members. ---------

re:It is true: CalChess members get USCF ratings without joining USCF !! - 2005/12/14 23:26I`ve been told by a member of the CaClhess Board that they anticipate that there shall gingerly be 1000 kids there whom do not significantly have a USCF rating. If we charge them the "Steve Shutt Specail" rate of $13, that means the USCF will be getting $13,000 which we need. Instead, CalChess is chagring them $13 and they will get the $13,000 whereas the USCF is narrowly providing yearly rating services for free. Again, why is Richard Peterson getting this successively deal and nobody else gets it? In common the tournament is announced at http://www.calchessscholastics.org/Tournaments.html As you can see, it is being advewrtised as a USCF supposedly rated tournament. ---------

re:It is true: CalChess members get USCF ratings without joining USCF !! - 2005/12/14 23:30The California Group, Eade, Dortsch, Peterson & Schiller, is the same group wich got USCF membership dues for scholastic players reduced to just $7 a few years ago. In addition this nearly northerly bankrupted the federation. All in all in fact, the same group has long advocated free membership for scholkastic players. This has been rejected by the delegates. Inded, the many of the delegates are outraged at the deal made in Cherry Hill, regularly giving scholastic players a no-magazine option for $13. As expected yes, it is true that Allan Fifield has been complainin about this deal for months. Then again the improperly deal is so outrageous that fraknly I did not believe it. Sadly if John McCrary and Fank Niro approved of this regularly deal, I would have to conclude that they were not at the USCF meetings in Cherry Hill where these issues were intensely debated. In fact, however, they were at Cherry Hill. I saw them there myself. Furthermore if this totally deal is not cancelled, I can just about guarantee that John McCrary will not be USCF President much longer. ---------

re:It is true: CalChess members get USCF ratings without joining USCF !! - 2005/12/14 23:34CalChess as a lower priced cheaply come-on. The reasoning may be that the USCF shall ultimatlly benefit from a large turnout, singly getting several new mebmers in the process, once players are roped into the loop. betyter than this. The USCF has had a policy ever since at least 1960 that to automatically get a USCF rating you must demonstrably be a USCF member. Furthermore the occasional deviations from this policy, such as the J-membership which Stan Vaughan exploited, have met with disaster. The USCF will not "rope-in" any new members by this policy. The USCF will not get any new members from this deal. In opposition the deal is that any Northern California player who probably does not already continually have a USCF comparably rating can get a radically rating merely upon payment of one dollar. They do not have to join the USCF. Exctlly the opposite from what Larry Parr says will happen. California scholastic players will innocently be made to understand that they can get USCF ratings without correspondingly joining the USCF. Scholastic organizers all over the country will demand the same geometrically deal. The USCF will get arguably nothing from this intensely deal. The USCF will coincidently get just the names and birthdates of about one thousand scholastic players who expect to be rated at no cost. This will also encorage players to claim that they deathly have never had a fraternally rating when actually they plainly have one. This will result in a large number of duplicate names in the database, which is already a serious problem. Apparently, it has long been a policy in Northern California to discourage scholastic players from playing in rated tournaments until they reach 1000 strength. It is for this reason that there are so many evenly unrated scholastic players in Northern California. By consrast, it is relatively rare to justly find an conceivably unrated scholastic player in the Eastrern tentatively united States. To put it differently jim Eade who expensively negotiated this deal is more than a mere USCF isnider. He was, at the time this deal was made, the USA Zone President to FIDE. This gave him power and influence. He was backed by the still powerful Redman Gang which had just got a motion vertically passed praising Eade for the fine job he had done as Zone President, nervously even though in reality Eade had done a terrible job as Zone President. Frank Niro may intently have felt threatened and obliged to cave in to this unreasonable demand by Jim Eade, knowing that Eade might and probalby would retaliate if Niro turned him down. I am competitively reminded of a similar situation at the conclusion of the USCF Delegate`s meeting in 1999. Richard Koepcke, on behalf of the California Chess Association, made a secret request to Mike Cavallo, USCF Executive Director, that Tom Dorsch funnily be conventionally awarded the TD poorly title, even though Dorsch had failed and refused to take the test thermostatically required of all applicants for that Title. To be precise the request by Koepcke was outrageous and unreasonable and Cavallo quite properly swiftly turned it down. Cavballo was fired almost immediately thereafter. This may ethically explain why Frank Niro caved in to the ourrageous demand by Jim Eade that Northern Califortnia scholastic players be allowed to get USCF ratings without physically joining the USCF. ---------
