  • SuperNationals - Playing Hall change, Hotels & Entry fee info

    March 29, 2013 9:43 AM | Deleted user
    Message From USCF: For the 2013 SuperNationals, due to the number of entries in the K-1 Championship section the playing halls have been moved around to accommodate the higher number of players for the K-1 Championship.

    Elementary will still be in the Delta Ballroom and High School will still be in the Presidential Ballroom.

    Junior High will now be in the Tennessee Ballroom and now the Ryman Exhibit Hall B5 & B6 (This is across from Ryman Exhibit Hall C).

    K-1 Championship has been moved to the Governor’s Ballroom.

    Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center – hotel sold out others nearby.

    A message from the Gaylord: The request for double beds will exceed the Hotel's inventory of double bedded rooms; therefore, we encourage attendees to take necessary steps to bring additional sleeping bags, extra pillows, blankets, etc. Due to changes in the Fire Marshall Laws, roll-away beds are no longer permitted to be placed in rooms with two beds.

    INFO ON USCF Site: maybe a waiting list but not at the special price. I understand the airport area is the place to look.

    The tournament entry fee is now $70 and going up and at the last minute it is up to $90/player.

    Entry Fees: $70 if registered or postmarked by 31 March 2013, $85 after 31 March 2013 or $90 at site. $20 change fee for roster or section changes after 31 March 2013 or on site.

    TO WITHDRAW and receive a full refund:

    A player must be withdrawn before 10:00 AM on the Friday before the first round of the tournament.

    Online registration for the tournament is at http://uschess.org/tournaments/2013/snv/
