    I see no reason to mistrust that. In the original bid no specific sponsors names were mentioned that is why I assumed that the sponsorship was still being sought. I think it is great that they have...

    First of all I think we have 3 very good bids which makes it tricky to choose. Personally I will be voting for the Vancity, Surrey bid for the following reason:
    1) I think it would be nice to...

    I believe the schedule for Vancity bid is wrong. They have the usual days for CYCC and 7 for Can Open.
  5. I wish BCCF would make a determination first on...

    I wish BCCF would make a determination first on which Vancouver area bid to submit. I hope that BC gets the Canadian Open since it’s been a while since it was held there but now their votes might be...

    I have been getting a good number of requests in Alberta. Currently, I believe that I am the only (somewhat) active IA/FA in the province so as Victor mentioned the two recommendations won’t work...

    Hello Anabelle,

    You are correct that they lost the official status. I have tried to reach out to the next person on the list, unfortunately, they did not reply to me and the hotel deadline for...

    Seeking FM for Calgary IM norms event

    We are looking for at least one more FM, WGM, WIM, or WFM, and possibly another higher rated player to play in this year’s Calgary International. The event this year is a 10 player Round Robin with...

    I think that we should vote for whoever is not Illyumzhinov. He promised us $80,000 we received $20,000. It is a principled matter.

    A few questions on this bid:

    1) Which rating is going to be used to determine qualification and also which rating period?
    2) There doesn't seem to be a provision in the budget for the payment to...

    At least we know that the person is making an effort. The problem with sending someone who was the top Canadian but who didn't actually win the tournament is that the Swiss system is not that great...

    I agree that only those who are listed under Canada in FIDE, or who have proof that they are in the process of changing federations should be allowed to play in national championships. I know of one...

    What is the reason for such a significant increase? It seems like $1.50 is already 3 times more than what is charged for a regular junior event.

    Calgary was considering bidding for the Calgary Junior. We decided to not bid for 2018, however, may bid for 2019. Given that it is two years away and we would need some more time to prepare for a...

    I like the first motion for sure; however, I don't like the idea of having an arbitrary rating period where the ratings suddenly become important, as that can cause some players to stop playing if...

    Hal, do you plan other special events during the Kitchener festival which might conflict with the Calgary International which will be at the same time? We are planning to have a Swiss with probably...

    If no one else bids, I believe that Jina Burn from Fort McMurray could do it and have nice funding for it, but of course that would be quite far for most participants. Speaking of national events,...

    I am not sure whether Canadians are allowed to play in the US National events, which are quite massive. When I lived in the US I played in the Super-Nationals which are held once every four years...
