These are the names that the USCF has so far. It seems that there are many names missing due to technical reasons by the USCF. If there is an error or if your name is missing, please send me an email at SusanPolgar@aol.com immediately.
That’s quite a list of top girls.
You should let women as well as girls play. Some of us started chess as adults and like women only tournaments like those you run (even if there arent prizes it would be fun).
This is an invitational. The players have to qualify to represent their states.
We have 2 open events for girls / women only. Starting in 2007, the open section for the SP National Open and SP World Open Championship for girls will be open for female of all ages.
Best wishes,

“Starting in 2007, the open section for the SP National Open and SP World Open Championship for girls will be open for female of all ages.”
Yes!!! Thank you!!!
Why does Texas get 2 girls ?
There are so many states still without a representative. I hope that the state directors will be notified about this.
