MACA and USCF memberships are not required. However, the two organizations sponsor and fund the event, and your membership would help them provide more programs like this in the future.

The tournament being unrated, we will soften the rules a little bit: if you make an illegal move it doesn’t lose on the spot, instead, the TD will add 1 minute to your opponent.
