How about a category 20 event? We need something big in America.
I would love to do a Category 20 tournament. Help me find the corporate sponsors for something like this.
How is it that Susan can pull off a Category 12 event and other strong events in the past and the USCF can’t? You also organize a bunch of events. How come the USCF isn’t doing any of it? Do they give you any money at all?
