Sample format: Date - Name of Event - Type of
Event - Place - Link - You do not have to hyperlink to submit. Just indicate if
you want something linked.
Send
a one line link an it will be posted ASAP! - Thanks - I
apologize in advance, but sending a TLA
(Tournament Life Announcements) will not produce a post - Periodic events for the club
page may have more than one line.
The above are NOT all the local events! There are many others! For weekly, monthly or periodic tournaments please see the Club Page for events at local clubs, including the popular and common weekend quads - Most Periodic Local Club Tournaments are not listed above; for example, the Main Line Chess Club usually has a rated game every Tuesday night, etc, West Chester CC the 1st Saturday of every month, Masterminds the 2nd Sunday of each month, etc. - also see BELOW for more tournament information
Use links, USCF event site for more info.
If you can't find what you want above, try one of the following links for more local events like monthly quads!
Info for First-Time Readers: Except for scholastic tournaments, which are restricted to K-12, anyone from anywhere can play in almost anything for the entry fee; the name of the tournament, like "Allentown Championship", does NOT restrict entry to players from Allentown! If the event is rated, as most are, you also need to be a USCF member! The best way for new or renewing members to join USCF is as part of that event's registration. If instead you join via the internet just before the event, you would need to bring written proof of current membership to the event, likely an e-mail from USCF with your new ID and expiration date.
"Tournament" scare you away? If we called
it a "chess festival"
would you come then? Don't let a name stop you! 
! ***NEW*** Organizers should
contact Joe Mucerino, the PSCF area event coordinator to avoid date conflicts and
help publicize. Also
e-mail me using the format
described above. USCF
