Directions: In the Upcoming Events section of the following website: http://www.wmass-chess.us
The MA people are against you and they will vote against you. Why do you advertise their event for free?
I know that some people like to divide the memberships. I do not. My goal is to help the USCF and promote chess positively everyday. I will promote all events that are good for chess, regardless who organizes it.
Best wishes,

This is a model tournament. More tournaments should be held like this.
