  <p>I use <a href="https://vesus.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://vesus.org/</a> in Italy to find tournaments.</p>
  <p>It's a free web app where organizers can publish their tournaments, collect registrations and share results and standings (using whatever pairing system they prefer just by generiting a file and uploading it).</p>

Answers.Text: You should also check for local clubs or organizations in your area. I live in the US, but my state and a club in the state capital each have website which post local tournaments. The bigger ones should show up on USCF, but there may be local regular events that do not.
