TLA payments can now be made online through the TD/Affiliate Support Area. The sponsoring affiliate or the contact (presumably the organizer or Chief TD) can list their unpaid TLAs and pay for them with a credit card.
Beginning next month the USCF office will start sending email reminders to affiliates about their unpaid TLAs.
TLAs that have not been paid for before the issue they are first scheduled to run in goes to press may be removed from the magazine.
Well, it took several weeks longer than I had hoped to get them both operational, but the second of these features, the ability for the chief/submitting TD to hand the event off to the sponsoring affiliate so that the affiliate can pay the ratings fees, is now enabled.
The sponsoring affiliate cannot make any changes to the event, only submit it and pay the ratings fees.
My thanks to Enrique Huerta for being the beta tester. Please report any problems directly to me via email or PM.
