Why won’t the bozos at the USCF allow you to help our federation with publicity?
What do you expect from a bunch of clowns over there? Is there a doubt why they keep losing money?
We see nothing wrong with the situation at the USCF.
We’re in the money!
Whats the difference between a 9 round GM norm and a 10 round GM norm?
One more round? 🙂
