Dear fellow chess organizers in Connecticut,
I will continue organizing my small USCF Saturday tournaments in Coventry every month for as long as I can. A total of 92 players have participated in my program since it was started May 2016.
We are fortunate here in Connecticut that Bill Goichberg runs top-notch chess tournaments in Stamford, Windsor Locks, and Sturbridge Mass. on a regular basis.
We need a big annual event in downtown Hartford, with media coverage, conducted by a team composed of all the local organizers and tournament directors. A large one-day event for adults, with a separate section for Juniors. Maybe Spring 2018 ?
I will coordinate all the volunteers needed to conduct such an event. I will be backup for any function when it is needed. I can use help with acquiring the site, arranging for the date, sending details and reports to the USCF.
I am unable to do all of this myself, so volunteers are needed to jump onboard early on in the process. I need TD's to commit to serving as floor directors, and pairing directors. I will award each volunteer with free entry.
Do any of you have influence with the people at the new UConn facilities in downtown Hartford ? We would all together decide on the format, time control, entry fee, and prizes etc...
Yours In Chess,
Rob Roy, USCF Senior TD
