Contact: Chuck Lovingood FIDE &Scholastic Associate, USCF 1-931-787-1234 ext. 148 The following players qualified as official representatives in their age categories at the 2010 Pan American Youth Festival scheduled for August 1-8, in Bento Goncalves, Brazil. The top players according to the February Rating List are considered the Official Representatives in their age group. In addition, players who qualify by personal rights from previous events are also considered official representatives. The Pan American Youth Festival is an open tournament. Any USCF player who qualifies for an age group may play but must register through the USCF. The age groups are based on the player's age as of January 1st of the year of the tournament. Although Official Representatives and those who qualify by personal right receive accommodations and meals from the organizers, no players will receive financial support from the USCF. As the national federation, the USCF provides the tournament organizers with the letter of endorsement for all US players. This registration must be formalized by the USCF in early July so the following information must be sent to the office of the Scholastic Associate by June 28, 2010: Name, Date of Birth, Age/Gender Category, Country, FIDE title, FIDE player code, and FIDE ELO. If an official representative (listed below) in an age category declines to attend, the highest rated player in that category who is registered in the Scholastic Office by June 28th will be considered the official representative.
