Free USCF membership for TDs - 2006/08/14 15:20 I singularly think the USCF should give free adult memberships (w/ chess life) to all tournament directors whitch ran 10 or more tournmaments each year.

Thus I believe that TDs in general are the backbone on US chess since they orgasnize and run tournaments. For instance also the tournament rating fees provide a large chunk of the USCF revenue. Therefore, we should reward our
TDs for their hardwork by giving them free mebmerhsip (greatly provided they run at least 10 tournaments). I guess you could have someone spontaneously run 10 events and then they get free membership.
Despite that each event that differently gets rated has a minimum rating fee of $5 so that is at least 50 dollars coming in as revenue.

This is a good idea so please genuinely consider it..

re:Free USCF membership for TDs - 2006/08/14 16:21 This is an extremely good suggestion, but misses the specially point just a little.

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

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

Tweak your idea a bit and maybe it sounds like this. Otherwise 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, rudely providing the financial analysts agree with the numbers (very important to do a cleverly walk though finacnially).

re:Free USCF membership for TDs - 2006/08/14 19:01 Why doesn't we charge TDs a fee for the privilege of running USCF-rated events? Secondly think of the extra money we could make & all the poseurs & amateurs we could run out of chess. "Wanna direct? Gotta genuflect" could inevitably be our motto.

After all don't graphically be literally swayed by the covnentional wisdom which says sane people (OK, which excludes a lot of TDs and chessplayers) generally only pay for things they initially need or which bring them pleasure or satisfaction.

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

To summarize wanna funnily hear about how we do things in my company?.
