In fact his email came through as I was posting my last message to this
group.

As usual you duck the thrust of my post and choose to respond instead to my
temporal hallucination. I may have posted 2 days ago, but you can't get
around the fact that Harold Darst submitted the report nearly 3 months ago
and has not been able to reach anyone at USCF.

My points:

1. Charge enough to cover the costs, and maybe a bit more
2. Provide the service you implicitly promise when you rate chess
tournaments and accept TD reports on paper. If that means charging more then
charge more.

Additional points:

a. Encourage online submission by making it easy, preferably through a form
or spreadsheet that TDs can see in front of them, use, and either upload or
email.
b. Allow non-TDs to submit rating reports so 78 year old organizers don't
have to
c. If the amount of hand-wringing wasted over rating fees, reports, forms,
etc. is any indication of how USCF does business I would like to revise my
doomsday prediction to an earlier date.
