While I tend to agree that US Chess should keep official endorsements to a minimum, there may need to be a contractual link between the organizer of record, the online chess provider and any registration services provider. It is not clear that US Chess needs to be involved in this.
At least one online chess provider has been advertising that it has ‘automated reporting’ of events to US Chess. That’s arguably a bit inaccurate, it may be able to generate the upload formats, it is still the TD’s responsibility to upload them and correct any errors during validation, make sure they are accurate and complete, that all players are members, pay any ratings fees, etc., using the TD/A tools for this.
As I understand it, US Chess is in the process of contacting online chess providers to learn more about their anti-fraud measures. This may lead to a two-tier list of providers, those for which US Chess has that information and those those for which it does not. I’m not on the Online Task Force, so I don’t know any specifics as to whether this will affect players’ rights and due process.
