I hope we can count on John Coleman for a YCC in Windsor!
John - I see nothing in the rules to prevent you from having a YCC for local kids only. Have the OPP block the 401 if necessary!

That is a good point, Bob. I think that YCC's will need to state if they are Open or "Closed" to a specific geographic region.
Organizers could have their own reasons for each format.
This is a good idea. Is is possible that half of the groups will have no participants, but does not matter. Maybe Brian Raymer can tell us more.Originally Posted by Fred McKim
My guess is that each province with more then one YCC will not have a provincial champion, will have something like "BC Lower Mainland Champion", "BC - Vancouver Island Champion", "BC - Okanagan Champion" and so on.
It might work, will reduce the number in what is now BC-YCC but it might increase the total number of player in YCC in BC.

One of our top Canadian players moved to Europe, will be hard to come and play in any YCC, will be OK for him to play in WYCC directly (with CFC Board if Directors permission - of course)?

I was thinking about this too. My opinion is that only one of the YCCs (if multiple in one province) should be called Ontario (as example) YCC. Provincial Youth Coordinator should decide which one should it be. The winners of this event will become provincial champions.Originally Posted by Andrei Botez
All other YCCs in the same province should have the qualification status only, and may be named something like "Ontario (as example) qualification YCC No. 2)", etc.

The CFC Youth Committee is currently working on clarifying WYCC qualification rules, and will submit a Motion for discussion during Governors on-line meeting in January.

Regarding the $200 fee, I have a question. In Alberta, we normally hold regional qualifiers, the winners then attend the Alberta Youth Chess Championship. Since the regional qualifiers do not qualify players towards the CYCC, I would think these events would be exempt from the $200 fee. Is this a correct interpretation?Originally Posted by Michael Barron
Yes, Tony, your interpretation is correct - only events that qualify players towards the CYCC are subject to this CYCC qualifier fee.Originally Posted by Tony Ficzere

I am Jack's dad. I think that the players can be selected from their CFC rating based on age group,girl and boy execpt three top players in province who get different entry discount.
