    Credit card expenses for WYCC

    Thanks for the details Bob.
    It is a refreshing change to have clear answers to simple questions.

    Youth Committee of Provincial Coordinators.

    One reason the CFC continues to score failing grades is that the majority of the CFC Governors know nothing about Youth Chess. Most could care less and some wish youth chess would just go away. I...

    Youth Fund Financials

    Thanks for the Youth Fund financials.

    It is nice to have a clear accounting for a change.

    I have only 2 questions;
    What was the $1,200 in credit card costs?
    Why did the CFC give CYCC 2011...

    Youth Fund

    For what it's worth Les that's how the program works in BC. All proceeds from the BCYCC go into registration fees for CYCC.

    Formal Youth Committee

    I agree. A formal youth committee would be much more effective than the ad hoc committee we now have.

    Poll: What the CYCC is and what it should be.

    Hi Patrick,

    I do not disagree on what the CYCC should be, and certainly won't argue against the fact that the CYCC winners are declared Canadian Champions for their age groups.

    That doesn't...

    I agree with your observations Fred. The problem of pegging a junior's skill level with a rating is challenged by the the moving target aspects. It's hard enough to get an accurate rating of a static...
