and she will tell you your username and reset your password). After you have logged in, a new menu, called the USER MENU will appear in the left column of each page - click on "ENTER FISU TRIALS" and complete the entry form. Note that you will get error messages saying players have not paid their 2010 dues. That is not required for Junior trials, but the computer doesn't understand. Each member of your team does have to be registered on this site - to register, they need to click on "Join" in the upper margin and complete the registration form. Superchart methods will be allowed for the FISU trials - if you are using any, you must complete an Advance Submission Form by January 28. If you are not using any Superchart methods, you need to complete the USBF System Summary Form by Feb. 14th. To complete system forms, go to the teams list page and click on your name. That page is also the place to go to view other players system information. |

It's that time again  . Those of you who pay dues year by year need to pay your 2010 dues soon. This year, as we have for the last few years, we have a special deal to encourage you to pay three years in advance and to do so before March. If you pay your dues from now until the end of February, you can pay $130 for three years. Otherwise, dues are still $50 per year ($25 for Juniors) and are due January 1st, although there's no penalty for late payment. If you're hoping to earn Positioning Points in the Vanderbilt or Women's Swiss in Reno, you need to pay your dues before those events start, or pay dues at the rate of $150 per year within 2 weeks of earning Positioning Points. You are receiving this email because you paid USBF active or resident member dues in 2009 and have not paid USBF active or resident member dues for 2010.
As for the last 4 years, you can now pay your dues online using a credit card as well as by mail with a check or (not encouraged) at the Spring NABC in cash or with a check. You cannot use a credit card in person at the Spring NABC. You also cannot pay for 3 years at the reduced rate of $130 at the Spring NABC. If you get the idea that I’d rather not collect money in Reno, you’re right. To pay by check, mail a check for $50 for one year or $130 for three years to Barbara Nudelman, 200 E. Delaware, Apt. 18E, Chicago IL 60611-5795.
To pay your dues online:
Log onto USBF website
1. Go to www.usbf.org.
2. Click on the “LOG IN” button at the top right of the page (it’s in the blue margin).
3. Type your username in the box labeled (surprise) Username. Your username was originally set at your first initial followed by your last name, all in lower case letters. You may have changed it, or if you registered since the site was originally set up your username is whatever name you chose. If you can’t remember your username,

and I’ll tell you what it is.
4. Type your password in the box labeled Password. Your password was originally your ACBL number, with the letter capitalized. If you have changed it, I cannot find out what it is, but if you have forgotten I can reset it to your ACBL number.
Pay Dues
After you have logged on, click on “Pay Dues” which is the third item under the User Menu in the left hand margin. That will take you to a page where you may choose whether to pay for 1 year ($50) or for 3 years ($130) using a credit card. When you click on the 1 year or 3 year button you will be taken to Paypal, where they will try very hard to get you to use a Paypal account to pay, but if you look on the lower left hand side of the page you will see a very small “Continue” next to pictures of credit cards and a statement that you can pay with a credit card even if you don’t have a Paypal account. Click on that and then complete the credit card information to pay dues. If you have any questions,

and I'll try to answer them. Thanks for paying early. Jan Martel |
