Why is there no USATS this year ?
Probably nobody wanted to organize and run it.
Organizing events is a different skill from directing, and not many people want to do it, especially among younger members.
It also can carry a financial risk. Sites want a lot of money and chess doesn’t bring much food and beverage business with it. They can make a lot more money from an evening reception than an all-day or all weekend chess tournament.
