Quick TD renewal question

[Robgetty]

I just recently got back into active directing. I assisted in a large scholastic, and was the sole director for 2 events last year. (My first tournaments in several years.)

I have 2 tournaments that I will be directing at in March. However, my local TD certification will expire at the end of Feb, without my having done 4 tournaments in the expiring 4 year term.

Question: The requirement says 4 tournaments or sections in a 4 year term to waive taking the test again. Since one of the tournaments which I directed last year had an open section and a reserve section (about 50 players total of all sections), can I “cheat” and count that as 2, or do I just need to ask for a test to be sent to me?

The best thing for you to do is email Larry Pond. He is very good at working with people to keep them certified!!

The new TD Certification rules do not allow you to count more than one section of a tournament as TD credit. E-mail Larry Pond for more info (lpond@uschess.org).
