How does it work?
1. It is not an official USChess website feature, and not even listed/linked on their website. If you have any questions, just Contact Chess Stream with your questions, and we will try to help as much as possible.
2. Chess Stream will continue monitor official pairing pages. So instead you clicking and refreshing pairing page at the USChess website, we do it for you. As soon as it sees new pairing, it will read the pairing and take only information we need.
3. The system will check subscriber contacts in the Chess Stream database and send maximum 160 characters using SMS/Text. It will be 1 SMS/Text for 1 player pairing each round.
4. No need to reply the SMS since it is a machine.
5. In average it will take only around 5 minutes after the pairing is up to deliver on your phone. It is not a backdoor system, so we will never ever send you anything before it is on public, and we will send exact text that we see in the pairing for you.
6. USChess's disclaimer "Overnight Pairings are Subject to change. Please check again before the round". Chess Stream will send another SMS if there is any re-pairing in the section. Chess Stream only sends up 2 re-pairings each round. Please double check by clicking the link in the SMS/Text.
7. Your first SMS/Text will be sent when the next pairing is up (not the current one, if you register during the tournament).
8. It is a free service and no charge, but please do not subscribe more than 40 players for 1 phone.
9. If your relationship to the player is Family/Parent/Player, we may keep your subscription for next National Championship tournaments. If you are coach who subscribes your team members, please come back to this page to subscribe again on each National Championship tournaments.
10. Please feel free to unsubscribe if your phone no longer has any relations to the player(s), or not interested anymore to receive pairing to SMS/Text on your phone.
