My Registrations
The My Registrations page is your personal dashboard for all tournament activity. You can see every tournament you have registered for, check details, manage bye requests, and withdraw if needed.
Accessing My Registrations
Sign in and go to chessroster.com/my-registrations . You must be signed in — the page redirects to sign-in if you are not.
What the Page Shows
Registrations are organized in a tree view, grouped by tournament and section.
Each registration shows:
- Tournament name, dates, and location
- Section name (the division you registered for)
- Registration status
- Entry fee paid
- Your USCF name (if linked)
Registration statuses:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Registered | Active registration — payment confirmed |
| Withdrawn | You withdrew from this tournament |
Only confirmed registrations appear here. Incomplete checkouts — where you started registration but did not complete payment — are not shown.
Viewing Registration Details
Click a registration in the list to expand its details. You can see:
- Your registered name and USCF ID
- Entry fee paid
- Current bye requests
- Custom question answers (if the organizer asked any)
Managing Bye Requests
A bye is a round you sit out in advance. Different bye types award different point values:
- Half-point bye — you receive 0.5 points for that round
- Zero-point bye — you receive 0 points for that round
To edit bye requests:
Open the registration
Click the registration in the list to expand it.
Edit bye requests
Use the bye request editor to add or change your bye selections. Available rounds depend on the tournament’s rules.
Save changes
Submit the form to save your updated bye requests.
Bye request deadlines vary by tournament. If the deadline has passed for a round, that round is no longer available to edit.
Withdrawing from a Tournament
Open the registration
Click the tournament registration you want to withdraw from.
Click Withdraw
A withdraw option appears in the registration details if the tournament allows player withdrawals and the cutoff time has not passed.
Confirm withdrawal
Confirm the action. Your registration status changes to “Withdrawn.”
Before withdrawing, check the refund policy. Refund eligibility depends on timing and the organizer’s policy. See Payment and Invoices for details.
Withdrawal cannot be undone through ChessRoster. If you withdraw by mistake, contact the tournament organizer directly to discuss re-entry.
If the Withdraw option is not visible, one of the following applies:
- The organizer has disabled player withdrawals for this tournament.
- The withdrawal deadline has passed.
- The tournament has already started.
