* A Clearinghouse is a listing of upcoming chess tournaments, activities and events for the purpose of assisting
organizers in avoiding scheduling conflicts with one another.
Naturally, it may also serve as an event calendar for players.
However, players relying on this listing should remember that a Clearinghouse, unlike a calendar, includes
items that may only be in planning stages, which may change dates, formats, etc. or be removed altogether.

The New England Clearinghouse is a no cost US Chess recognized service provided by the New England Chess Association
to chess organizers of New England and their applicable US Chess State Chapters in meeting US Chess guidelines.
NECA Members are:
the Connecticut State Chess Association (CSCA),
the Maine Chess Association (MECA),
the Massachusetts Chess Association (MACA),
the New Hampshire Chess Association (NHCA),
the Ocean State Chess Association,
the Vermont Chess Association (VCA) and
the Western Massachusetts Chess Association (WMCA).

Please do not use "state championship", granting "state title" or similar text if you're not the USCF State Affiliate.
Please do not use all caps in the name of your event.

Organizer, if you are interested in adding events on this site, but do not have an access code yet, please e-mail Gert at gert@hilhorst.us
