THE OFFICIAL REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED STATES THAT WILL ATTEND THE NORTH AMERICAN YOUTH CHAMPIONSHIP 2009 IN MAZATLAN, MEXICO

Mr. Chuck Lovingood, USCF Scholastic/FIDE Director has emailed me the following list of official representatives of the United States attending the NAYCC 2009. However, we are awaiting confirmation of the additional players that will be attending the tournament.

It is important to clarify that being an official player does not assure results over an additional player. In our case as parents, had our daughter not been the official player, she would have still participated in this event.

For those readers that visit our blog and would like to know how this team was chosen, the tournament was posted in www.uschess.org, www.fideamerica.com, www.fenamac.org.mx, www.claudiachess.blogspot.com, and www.susanpolgar.blogspot.com,

The parents sent an email to Mr. Chuck Lovingood at USCF and a registration deadline was provided. The day after the deadline, the USCF selected the official representatives based on the highest rating of THOSE THAT REGISTERED in each category.
