Frequently Asked Questions

Can I register more than one player at once?

How do I make changes to an order after placing it?
To edit an existing order, please use the Order Correction Link at the bottom of your confirmation email.

Can I get a refund if I decide to withdraw from the event?
Refunds are solely at the discretion of the event staff. To request a refund for an event, please email ben@chessreg.com and include the name of the event and the name(s) of the participant(s). Please see our Terms of Service for more details.

I'm attempting to register multiple players, but one of them is in a section that is wait listed. Can I still register my other players?
Yes, when you click continue after you have added all your players to the cart, the system will automatically separate any players that are in wait listed sections out. You will only be charged for the players in open sections. You will receive a separate email later if a spot is made available in the wait listed section.
