Player Attendance at USCF meets

Since the KSCA is authorized by the Kansas Chess Association, which is the state level association for USCF, shouldn't any USCF tournament be included in eligibility for state. Within KSCA we take great care to not schedule meets on the same day within 100 miles. But if an adult targeted USCF meet happens to be on the same day shouldn't a scholastic USCF player be allowed to compete at that higher level of competition without being penalized by losing elibility for state.

The question is should we count any USCF/KCA tournament towards state eligibility regardless of the location of the adult meet?

Player vs. Player of Same School

The home page of the KSCA website currently states: "A player will never be paired against a player from their own school, except during the last round when all players in the top score group are from the same school and no other school could tie or beat that school for the team tournament." This is a horrible rule for several reasons that seem completely obvious to me. I would like to suggest that this statement be replaced with: "USCF rule variation 28N4 will be used." Of course, 28N1, 28N2, or 28N3 would also be preferable to the current wording on the website, but I think 28N4 is best.

Committee Proposal

I would like to see a Committee that would handle tournament issues that can be posted. We have a set of rules that we use but they sometimes need to be amended as time changes. Not for bylaw issues but to handle KSCA policy issues. This committee can report annually to the state committee.
