I’m in the process of submitting a tournament report, but I’m not getting the check box for tournament memberships. Can someone please tell me where I’m supposed to mark for tournament memberships. I don’t see anything in the validation process, nor membership exceptions (unless it’s an “other”). Thanks in advance. - Enrique ---

Scratch that. I think I figured out the system. I needed to create IDs through Membership (as Non-member) and then use that ID for the validation process. Sneaky, sneaky! 😉 - Enrique ---

From the FAQ on the TD/Affiliate Support Area: > [@](#): > > I have a non-member in my tournament. How do I do a tournament membership? > > First, does this player have a USCF ID yet? If not, see the answer to the previous question (dealing with a player who does not have an ID yet) and follow the first step to get a USCF ID for this person. ---
