You might want to go back and...
I see nothing here about the (older) requirement that norm events have (titled) players from multiple federations. Has that requirement been abandoned? e.g. can all three norms be from Swiss events? ...
Later.
not ready for primetime.
Try a variety and see what attracts the most interest.
10 + 5 works for a lot of older players, and 5 rounds takes less than 2 hours;
3 + 3 is fast, but not crazy-fast.

Good to see so many strong players attending from QC -- top four boards! -- esp with the major snowfall in Ottawa.
Very strange not to see Zach registered... ?
With a draw in round 8, FM Mark Plotkin has secured the 6.5 points needed for his final IM Norm. In addition, his FIDE rating has gone over 2400 during this tournament, meaning Mark has met all the...
