All eligible players who may qualify pursuant to Clause 1053(c) and who wish to participate in the Junior Tournament shall notify the CFC Business Office no later than 45 days before the start of the Championship of their intention to participate, enclosing their entry fee of $150.00. The CFC Board of Directors may delegate this function to the tournament organizers. Entries which cannot be accepted because the number exceeds the number of players allowed shall be advised thereof and their entry fee returned to them.

Players qualifying pursuant to Clause 1053(a) shall send in their entries as soon as is practical after the Provincial Champion is known but in any case no later than three weeks prior to the start of the Junior Tournament. In exceptional circumstances, the CFC Board of Directors can vary the time limits in this Clause.

Lyle, can you confirm that the correct wording should have "... prior to the event" in it?

[Michael von Keitz]

The intent seems clear and has been confirmed by both the mover and seconder. Unless I hear an objection, I'm going to have the omitted phrase "before the start of the Championship" appended to the end of the sentence currently ending "...no later than 20 days."
