Will it be USCF rated? I would prefer this although it is not
necessary.

Sam Sloan

yes

Do you need a TD to submit the games for ratings?

And do you need an ICC account to broadcast the games?

If needed I can handle both of those.

yes

Unless the policy has changed, and IIRC, this is a valid match (since
the rating difference is less than 400 points). No TD need be present
provided the result is signed by a public notary. The resulting rating
change from this match may not exceed 50 points, and rating changes
over the past three years, as the result of match play, may not
exceeded 200 rating points for either player.

I do not know what the current rating fees are for match play. I
looked on the USCF Website for information on match play, and found
nothing (doesn't mean it's not there though. Sometimes information on
the USCF Website is tricky to find).

Best regards,

George John

I let my ICC account lapse; too much temptation.

I would imagine the arbiter would submit the games; I will reimburse
any related costs out of my pocket, whatever the result. (Something
like $10 min. for an event, right?)

It's 40 Cents a game with a $8.00 minimum.

Plus 2 bucks if you want a crosstable mailed to you.

Look he http://www.uschess.org/about/forms/00tmtrep.PDF

Not rocket science. I also made you an ICC account for the Arbiter
or whoever to transmit the moves.

Password and details to follow in a private email. GRUDGE05 is
the account name.

Sam, Bill:

As a sponsor, could I ask that both Sam Sloan and Bill Brock plan to
show up at the game site at the very least by _9:30AM_ on the June
26th, 30 minutes in advance of the start time for Game 1?

This particular sponsor would not like to "pay" to see Game 1 forfeited
only because one of the players didn't show or couldn't find the proper
route from his hotel to the venue in question or didn't anticipate
Chicago traffic or traffic patterns or simply "got lost" or forgot that
there is a timezone change. (Obviously all this applies more to Mr.
Sloan who would be a guest in Chicago!)

I do not know where I will be staying and it has been many years since
I visited Chicago, except that I was there for the 1998 US Shogi
Championship.

Kindly recommend to me a place with very reasonable accommodations.
