The USCF’s affiliates are its greatest asset. Without the hard work of the many people connected with our state and local clubs and associations, we would have only a small fraction of our 90,000 members. Regular affiliation includes the right to hold USCF-rated tournaments, to receive commissions on USCF memberships sold, and to receive Chess Life and the Rating Supplement by mail. All this for $40 is a bargain; we keep the price low because we seek as many affiliates as possible. We are now asking our affiliates to do even more for chess and USCF—to hold more rated events and, if possible, to make a higher level of financial commitment to the USCF, thereby helping us to bring organized chess to more people and to achieve our long-sought goal of topping the 100,000 mark in USCF membership. Gold and Silver Affiliates are affiliates who are able to make a higher level of financial commitment to the USCF, and accordingly are recognized in Chess Life and on the uschess.org website. The Gold and Silver Affiliate programs are described below.
