Sorry about they delay. The info has been sitting in my in-box for a
while.

Compared to a year ago it looks like the adult numbers are sort of
stabilizing but the kiddies are bailing out.

Kiddies and parents don't make this decision. Organizers do.
Organizers have realized that not every scholastic section or every
scholastic tournament has to USCF rated to be a success.

Less kiddies, more excess of revenues over expenditures. Likewise, the less
tournaments we run the less money we'll lose.

Less scholastic players. An RSHaas dream.

It's very difficult for me, for one, to decide to renew if I don't have
access to an "economy" rate that does not include the magazine (which I
do not want). For the membership benefits, $49 still strikes me as too
high. I can certainly afford that per year, but I hate the feeling of
not getting fair value for my money.
The last time I renewed, I did so at the $39 "economy" (no magazine)
rate, and even then I felt that I was paying too much. Is there any
chance that the dues structure will be modified in the near future?
Cheers,
zdrakec
