Each province qualifies it's highest player by rating for each group. Combine that with the top 3 finishers and Ellen's right.
I'd go with the top 10 rated CFC members on May 1 (keep it simple).
I read this a little more closely this time... this would be true if it were possible for provinces to qualify players in every section, however most provinces have no active players in many sections. I have a chart with the total number of active juniors by province somewhere.... just let me find it.
Province...........U8.......U10.....U12.....U14... ..U16.......U18....
Alberta.............1..........7.........5........ .7........6..........5......
B.C. ...............6..........9........10.......10.... ...7..........6......
Quebec.............0..........2........1.........6 ........6..........2......
Manitoba...........0..........1..........1........ .1........3.........2.....
N.B. ...............0...........0.........1........1... .....1...........1....
NF .................0...........0.........0.........1 ........1..........0....
NS .................0...........0.........1.........0 ........0..........0....
NU...................0...........0..........0..... .....0.......0.........0.....
NWT ...............0...........0............0........0 ........0.........0.....
Ontario ...........15..........25........25+......25+..... 25+......25+.....
PEI...................0...........0............0.. .....3.........1..........0....
SK...................0............0...........0... .....2.........0..........1.....
YK...................0............0..........0.... .....0........0............0...
So that's the demographic breakdown... as you can see there are numerous 0 spots where there are no active (min. 15 games) juniors from that province or territory, in the specified age group.
I initially tried to use this chart to argue that any sort of qualification based on geographic locale did not make sense... and I stand by that interpretation.

Thank you, Stuart!
Glad to know that you support the qualification system in general!
What we need this year - the qualification system that encourage participation.
After CYCC we analyze the results and make necessary corrections to the rules.
Sooner or later, we would be able to build the qualification system that you like...
Meantime we need to vote on this motion...
As I said months ago, we can't use ratings for qualification, because we can't compare ratings from different provinces.
The only way to qualify - is to play well in a tournament.
This motion discourages tournament participation, that's why it's bad.
On behalf of the CFC Youth Committee I ask all Governors to vote against this motion.
Thanks,
Michael Barron
