Please see the USCF Rulebook:
32A. Announcement. Prizes to be awarded and the methods used to allocate

with details.
Thank you.

Throwing around phrases like "Over $100,000 in scholarships and cool chess
prizes are available"
is enticing, but is it enough detail to satisfy tournament advertising
standards?
