IMPORTANT NOTICE: WE RECOMMEND THAT ALL PRIZEWINNERS WAIT TO RECEIVE THEIR PRIZES AT THE TOURNAMENT! Prizewinners may receive their prize checks right at the tournament, as soon as the amount of their prize has been determined! The IRS also requires that anyone who wins $600 or more show proof of their Social Security Number to the Tournament Director, in order to receive their check. Those prizewinners who choose not to receive their prizes at the tournament may instead provide us with their addresses so we can mail them their prize checks after the tournament. However, especially during our busy periods, it may take up to four (4) or more weeks for us to process all the outstanding prizes, for you to then receive your prize by mail, instead of just receiving it on site, at the end of the tournament. We strongly encourage all prizewinners to collect their prize checks at the tournament.

URGENT! USCF EXECUTIVE BOARD ELECTION
by Bill Goichberg

            Please vote in this crucial election for four members of the seven person USCF Executive Board. Ballots will be in the June issue of Chess Life and the TLA Newsletter, and any member age 16 or over, who was also a member on April 30, may vote. Members who do not receive a ballot may request one from the USCF office.
            The Executive Board currently includes a member who has sued USCF, the organization she has a fiduciary duty to support and protect, for $25 million (later reduced to $10 million), a lawsuit I believe is totally without merit. Her husband, who has refused to deny under oath charges that he made many anonymous and defamatory internet posts, is also on the Board. If two candidates are elected who support or tolerate the outrageous conduct of these two, I believe that the Federation will be in great peril. See www.uschess.org/legalupdates for details regarding numerous legal problems that USCF now faces.
            See www.checkmate.us for my detailed commentary on the election. I am a candidate for re-election to the Board, but am not eligible to continue as President due to a term limit. The Board elects the President, so with the support of just two more Board members out of the four to be elected, the next President of USCF could actually be someone who has an active lawsuit against the Federation which, if successful, would bankrupt the organization! Don't let this happen! Please vote for BILL GOICHBERG, JIM BERRY, RUTH HARING, AND MIKE ATKINS.
