The criteria employed for additional players selection are:
1. Finish 2nd or 3rd at CYCC,
2. Highest rated player in a category,
3. Sibling of an invited player,
4. At the discretion of CFC Executive/Youth committee.
All additional players cover all their expenses by themselves.
Unfortunately, the selection procedure is not described clearly in the CFC Handbook, and that caused some controversy.
I would like to ask an advice from the Assembly of Governors:
How should we update the CFC Handbook to make it clear?
