Some events allow players without a USCF, CFC, FIDE, or NWSRS ID to register.

This path is only for players who do not have any chess ID. If you already have a USCF, CFC, FIDE, or NWSRS ID, create or log into a normal NA Chess Hub account instead.

Start registration

On the event page, click Register.

If no-ID registration is allowed, the login page will show:

No Chess ID (USCF, CFC, FIDE or NWSRS ID)? Click Here

Click that link.

What you will do

1. Enter your email.

2. Verify the code sent to your email.

3. Enter player information:

• name,

• birth date,

• gender,

• grade,

• phone,

• address,

• optional school.

4. If the event requires it, enter your 3-letter NWSRS School ID.

• Students should enter their school’s NWSRS school ID.

• Adults may enter ADU.

• You can find school IDs for Northwest states at:

https://player.nachesshub.com/schools.html

5. Continue to event registration.

6. Pay the entry fee if payment is required.

NA Chess Hub stores your grade information and calculates your high school graduation year using September 1 as the start of the new school grade.

Guest account

NA Chess Hub creates or reuses an internal guest player account for you.

This keeps your registration connected to:

• roster,

• payment,

• pairings,

• refunds,

• registration history.

NACH does not create fake USCF, CFC, FIDE, or NWSRS IDs.

After registration/payment, you may be asked to pick a login handle and set a password for your guest account.

If USCF membership purchase is required

If the organizer requires a USCF membership purchase:

• the USCF membership fee is collected with the entry fee;

• the organizer will fulfill the membership order;

• NACH does not automatically submit the membership to US Chess;

• after your USCF ID is issued, the organizer can add it to your existing guest account.

Do not create a second NACH account for the new USCF ID unless the organizer or NACH support tells you to.

If you later receive a real chess ID

Tell the organizer.

The organizer can update your guest account with your real chess ID, including:

• USCF ID,

• CFC ID,

• FIDE ID,

• NWSRS ID.

For NWSRS IDs, the organizer may enter the full school+grade+ID value, such as:

TSTN9717

NACH will store the real NWSRS ID and update your NWSRS school/grade information.

Important notes

• Use this path only if you do not have any chess ID.

• NACH does not create fake chess IDs.

• If payment fails or is canceled before money is recorded, the unpaid guest registration may be removed.

• If you later receive a real chess ID, tell the organizer.

• If you already have a chess ID, create or log into a normal account instead.
