MUIR is blocking me from submitting tonight’s tournament. It’s the same problem I had in July. The tournament had 13 players. Fortunately, one of the fathers used to be a member so had a USCF ID. I asked him to play so none of the kids have to sit out a round — since it’s only 3 rounds anyway. I was able to release it for review; has anyone else run into this and know what the typical turnaround time is?

Since he was my house player, I didn’t make him pay for the tournament, and he was ineligible for prizes. Which was sad because everyone he played was higher rated than he, and he had two wins and a draw.

On the form where you put in his ID, there should be a ‘house player’ slide.

I’m assuming this tournament is not being run as a JTP event, because adult house players are not permitted to participate in JTP events.

I don’t recognize the JTP acronym. But it’s registered as non-scholastic/ non-Grand Prix event.

I used the slider but MUIR still objects that I needed an extra player in each of the 3 rounds.i submitted the event and it’s waiting for review.

What’s the event name and/or 12 digit ID, I’ll see if I can look at it.

Thank you.

It’s submitted. It’s just waiting for someone to review it and release it; then I can pay and it can be rated.
